This version is especially primitive. Users should realize that *less*(1) provides *more*(1) emulation plus extensive enhancements. + +== OPTIONS + +Options are also taken from the environment variable *MORE* (make sure to precede them with a dash (*-*)) but command-line options will override those. + +*-d*, *--silent*:: +Prompt with "[Press space to continue, 'q' to quit.]", and display "[Press 'h' for instructions.]" instead of ringing the bell when an illegal key is pressed. + +*-l*, *--logical*:: +Do not pause after any line containing a *^L* (form feed). + +*-e*, *--exit-on-eof*:: +Exit on End-Of-File, enabled by default if POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable is not set or if not executed on terminal. + +*-f*, *--no-pause*:: +Count logical lines, rather than screen lines (i.e., long lines are not folded). + +*-p*, *--print-over*:: +Do not scroll. Instead, clear the whole screen and then display the text. Notice that this option is switched on automatically if the executable is named *page*. + +*-c*, *--clean-print*:: +Do not scroll. Instead, paint each screen from the top, clearing the remainder of each line as it is displayed. + +*-s*, *--squeeze*:: +Squeeze multiple blank lines into one. + +*-u*, *--plain*:: +Suppress underlining. This option is silently ignored as backwards compatibility. + +*-n*, *--lines* _number_:: +Specify the _number_ of lines per screenful. The _number_ argument is a positive decimal integer. The *--lines* option shall override any values obtained from any other source, such as number of lines reported by terminal. + +**-**__number__:: +A numeric option means the same as *--lines* option argument. + +**+**__number__:: +Start displaying each file at line _number_. + +**+**/__string__:: +The _string_ to be searched in each file before starting to display it. + +include::man-common/help-version.adoc[] + +== COMMANDS + +Interactive commands for *more* are based on *vi*(1). Some commands may be preceded by a decimal number, called k in the descriptions below. In the following descriptions, *^X* means *control-X*. + +*h* or *?*:: +Help; display a summary of these commands. If you forget all other commands, remember this one. + +*SPACE*:: +Display next k lines of text. Defaults to current screen size. + +*z*:: +Display next k lines of text. Defaults to current screen size. Argument becomes new default. + +*RETURN*:: +Display next k lines of text. Defaults to 1. Argument becomes new default. + +*d* or *^D*:: +Scroll k lines. Default is current scroll size, initially 11. Argument becomes new default. + +*q* or *Q* or *INTERRUPT*:: +Exit. + +*s*:: +Skip forward k lines of text. Defaults to 1. + +*f*:: +Skip forward k screenfuls of text. Defaults to 1. + +*b* or *^B*:: +Skip backwards k screenfuls of text. Defaults to 1. Only works with files, not pipes. + +*'*:: +Go to the place where the last search started. + +*=*:: +Display current line number. + +*/pattern*:: +Search for kth occurrence of regular expression. Defaults to 1. + +*n*:: +Search for kth occurrence of last regular expression. Defaults to 1. + +*!command* or *:!command*:: +Execute _command_ in a subshell. + +*v*:: +Start up an editor at current line. The editor is taken from the environment variable *VISUAL* if defined, or *EDITOR* if *VISUAL* is not defined, or defaults to *vi*(1) if neither *VISUAL* nor *EDITOR* is defined. + +*^L*:: +Redraw screen. + +*:n*:: +Go to kth next file. Defaults to 1. + +*:p*:: +Go to kth previous file. Defaults to 1. + +*:f*:: +Display current file name and line number. + +*.*:: +Repeat previous command. + +== ENVIRONMENT + +The *more* command respects the following environment variables, if they exist: + +*MORE*:: +This variable may be set with favored options to *more*. + +*SHELL*:: +Current shell in use (normally set by the shell at login time). + +*TERM*:: +The terminal type used by *more* to get the terminal characteristics necessary to manipulate the screen. + +*VISUAL*:: +The editor the user prefers. Invoked when command key _v_ is pressed. + +*EDITOR*:: +The editor of choice when *VISUAL* is not specified. + +*POSIXLY_CORRECT*:: +Disable exit-on-eof (see option *-e* for more details). + +== HISTORY + +The *more* command appeared in 3.0BSD. This man page documents *more* version 5.19 (Berkeley 6/29/88), which is currently in use in the Linux community. Documentation was produced using several other versions of the man page, and extensive inspection of the source code. + +== AUTHORS + +Eric Shienbrood, UC Berkeley. + +Modified by Geoff Peck, UCB to add underlining, single spacing. + +Modified by John Foderaro, UCB to add -c and MORE environment variable. + +== SEE ALSO + +*less*(1), +*vi*(1) + +include::man-common/bugreports.adoc[] + +include::man-common/footer.adoc[] + +ifdef::translation[] +include::man-common/translation.adoc[] +endif::[] |
