DESCRIPTION
The more command displays files one page at a time. It obtains the number of lines per page from
the environment or from the -n option. If the standard output is not a terminal device, the number
of lines per page is infinite. The less command is identical to the more command.
If more than one file is specified, they are displayed one at a time. When more finishes displaying
one file, it begins displaying the next one in the list. If you give - as one of the file names, more
reads the standard input at that point in the sequence.
Besides normal text files, more also works on 16-bit Unicode files. Such files normally begin with a
two-byte marker indicating whether the file's Unicode characters are big-endian or little-endian.
more allows paging forwards and backwards (if possible) and searching for strings.
Options
