10.2 Pagers: -more, less, and most

- -
-

10.2.1 more

- -

more(1) is what we call a pager utility. Oftentimes the -output of a particular command is too big to fit on one screen. The individual commands -do not know how to fit their output to separate screens. They leave this job to the pager -utility.

- -

The more command breaks the output into individual screens -and waits for you to press the space bar before continuing on to the next screen. -Pressing the enter key will advance the output one line. Here is a good example:

- - - - - -
-
-% cd /usr/bin
-% ls -l
-
-
- -

That should scroll for a while. To break up the output screen by screen, just pipe it -through more:

- - - - - -
-
-% ls -l | more
-
-
- -

That is the pipe character (shift backslash). The pipe is short for saying take the -output of ls and feed it into more. You -can pipe just about anything through the more command, not just -ls. Piping is also covered in Section 8.2.3.

-
- -
-

10.2.2 less

- -

The more command is quite handy, but often you will find that -you have advanced past the screen you wanted. more does not provide a way to go back. The -less(1) command provides this functionality. It is used in the -same way as the more command, so the previous examples apply -here too. So, less is more than more. -Joost Kremers puts it this way:

- - -
-

less is more, but more more than more is, so more is less less, so use more less if you want less more.

-
-
- -
-

10.2.3 most

- -

Where more and less leave off, most(1) picks back up. If less is more than -more, most is more than less. Whereas the other pagers can only display one file at a time, -most is capable of viewing any number of files, as long as each -file's window is at least 2 lines long. most has a lot of -options, check the man page for full details.
