NAME
more - file perusal filter for crt viewing
SYNOPSIS
more [options] file...
DESCRIPTION
more is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time. 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 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 Do not pause after any line containing a ^L (form feed).
-f Count logical lines, rather than screen lines (i.e., long lines
are not folded).
-p 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 Do not scroll. Instead, paint each screen from the top,
clearing the remainder of each line as it is displayed.
-s Squeeze multiple blank lines into one.
-u Suppress underlining.
-number
The screen size to use, in number of lines.
+number
Start displaying each file at line number.
+/string
The string to be searched in each file before starting to
display it.
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.

' 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.

!command or :!command
