MORE(1)                                   User Commands                                   MORE(1)



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 espe‐
       cially 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 dec‐
       imal 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 com‐
                        mands, remember this one.

              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.

              '         Go to the place where the last search started.

              =         Display current line number.

                        or defaults to vi 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.
