Description

The specification for "more" is as specified in the SUS but with the following differences as listed below.

Differences

-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 contin­ ue, 'q' to quit.]" and will display "[Press 'h' for instructions.]" instead of ringing the bell when an illegal key is pressed.

-e

This option is not supported

-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.

-i

This option is not supported

-f

Causes more to count logical, rather than screen lines (i.e., long lines are not folded).

-n

This option is not supported.

-p

Do not scroll. Instead, clear the whole screen and then display the text.

+/

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

+num

Start at line number num.
