MORE(1)                          User Commands                         MORE(1)

NAME
       more - display the contents of a file in a terminal

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, --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.

       -h, --help
           Display help text and exit.

       -V, --version
           Print version and exit.

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.
