NAME
   more - file perusal filter for crt viewing

SYNOPSIS
   more [-dlfpcsu] [-num] [+/ pattern] [+ linenum] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
   More is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time. This
   version is especially primitve. Users should realize that less(1) pro-
   vides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements.

OPTIONS
   Command line options are described below. Options are also taken from
   the environment variable MORE (make sure to precede them with a dash
   (``-'')) but command line options will override them.

   -num This option specifies an integer which is the screen size (in
   lines).

   -d   more will prompt the user with the message "[Press space to con-
   tinue, 'q' to quit.]" and will display "[Press 'h' for instruc-
   tions.]" instead of ringing the bell when an illegal key is
   pressed.

   -l   more usually treats ^L (form feed) as a special character, and will
   pause after any line that contains a form feed. The -l option will
   prevent this behavior.

   -f   Causes more to count logical, 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.

   -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.

   +/   The +/ option specifies a string that will be searched for before
   each file is displayed.

   +num Start at line number num.

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
   the 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 place where previous search started.

   =   Display current line number.

   /pattern  Search for kth occurrence of regular expression. Defaults to
   1.

   n   Search for kth occurrence of last r.e.  Defaults to 1.

   !<cmd> or :!<cmd>
   Execute <cmd> 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" 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
   More utilizes 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  Specifies terminal type, used by more to get the terminal
   characteristics necessary to manipulate the screen.

HISTORY
   The more command appeared in 3.0BSD. This man page documents more ver-
   sion 5.19 (Berkeley 6/29/88), which is currently in use in the Linux com-
   munity. Documentation was produced using several other versions of the
   man page, and extensive inspection of the source code.
