[n]?[!]pattern Searches backward in the file for the nth line containing pattern. The search
begins at the line immediately before the top line displayed. n defaults to
one if not specified. If pattern is the null regular expression (?), more uses
the previous pattern. If the character ! precedes pattern, more searches for
lines that do not contain pattern.
:e [filename]newline Stops viewing the current file and views filename instead. If you do not
specify filename, more returns to the beginning of the current file. If
filename is #, more returns to the last file viewed before the current one.
[n]:n Views the next file from the list given on the command line. If you specify n,
more views the nth next file from the list.
[n]:p Views the previous file from the list given in the command line. If you
specify n, more views the nth previous file from the list.
:t tagname Goes to tagname.
:w filename Writes the contents of the current file to the file filename.
! Escape to shell and execute shell command.
= Displays, where possible, the name of the file currently being viewed, its
number (relative to the total number of files specified in the command line),
the current line number, the current byte number, the total bytes to display
and what percentage of the file has been displayed.
Ctrl-G Displays, where possible, the name of the file currently being viewed, its
number (relative to the total number of files specified in the command line),
the current line number, the current byte number, the total bytes to display
and what percentage of the file has been displayed.
Home Goes to the first line in the file.
End Goes to the last line in the file.
Environment Variables
more uses the following environment variables:
Usage Note
Localization
COLUMNS
Contains the maximum number of columns to display on one line.
EDITOR
Contains the name of the editor that the v command invokes.
LINES Contains the number of lines in a page. This value takes precedence over
value from TERM. However, the –n value takes precedence over the LINES
value.
MORE Contains a list of options as they would appear on the command line. This
variable takes preference over the TERM and LINES variables.
TERM Contains the name of the terminal type.
more is designed for raw-mode terminals. It can be used with 3270 (dumb)
terminals with certain restrictions. Line-mode terminals require a user to press Enter
to allow the keys typed to be processed. However, the Enter key has a special
meaning to more. Specifically, it causes more to scroll down a single line.
Therefore, when attempting to use more while in line-mode, each time a user
presses ″Enter″ to process any command, this causes the screen to scroll down a
single line at a time.
more uses the following localization environment variables:
v LANG
v LC_ALL
