more
Options
more allows paging forwards and backwards (if possible) and searching for strings.
–A Displays all characters, including unprintable ones. Usually, unprintable
characters are displayed in a format which is printable, such as octal.
However, with –A, the actual glyph (graphical character) is displayed. Also,
by using this option, ANSI escape sequences for display modes are
processed. This option cannot be used with –u.
Note: The character in the top left corner of the screen is always displayed
in normal mode.
–c Displays one page at a time starting at the top of the screen, and clears the
screen before displaying a new file. more may ignore this option if the
terminal doesn’t support such operations.
–e Exits immediately after displaying the last line of the last file. Usually, if
stdout is a terminal device, more stops after displaying the last line of the
last file and prompts for a new command. If the command that displays text
causes more to reach the end of the file again, more exits.
–i Ignores case during searches.
–n number
Specifies the number of lines per page. This overrides any values obtained
from the environment. Use this option when you need to override the
curses screen length or LINES setting to work with your terminal. This
option will give incorrect results if used while in the OMVS shell (or another
dumb terminal) and specifying number to be something other than the
current number of screen lines.
–P string
Sets the prompt that appears at end of each page of text to string. The
default prompt is [filename]. more usually displays the prompt in standout
mode.
–p command
Initially executes the more command on each file. If it executes
successfully and command is a positioning command such as a line
number or a regular expression search, more displays the resulting page;
otherwise more displays the first page of the file. If both the –t and –p
options are specified, the –t option is processed first.
+command
Initially executes the more command on each file. If it executes
successfully and command is a positioning command such as a line
number or a regular expression search, more displays the resulting page;
otherwise more displays the first page of the file. If both the –t and –p
options are specified, the –t option is processed first.
–S Displays the prompt in normal mode rather than standout (reverse video)
mode.
–s Replaces consecutive empty lines with a single empty line.
–t tag Searches for the named tag and displays the page of text containing it. See
ctags for more information.
–U Allows more to refresh the display screen for each new line.
–u Displays all backspaces as ^H.
