advances the output by one screen. There are also other commands that can be used while navigating through the document; consult more's man page for more details. Options Options are typically entered before the file name, but can also be entered in the environment variable $MORE. Options entered in the actual command line will override those entered in the $MORE environment variable. Available options may vary between Unix systems, but a typical set of options is as follows: -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 continue, 'q' to quit.] and will display [Press 'h' for instructions.] instead of ringing the bell when an illegal key is pressed. -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. -f: Causes more to count logical, rather than screen lines (i.e., long lines are not folded). -p: Do not scroll. Instead, clear the whole screen and then display the text. -c: Do not scroll. Instead, paint each screen from the top, clearing the remainder of each line as it is displayed. -s: Squeeze multiple blank lines into one. -u: Backspaces and carriage returns to be treated as printable characters; +/: This option specifies a string that will be searched for before each file is displayed. (Ex.: more +/Preamble gpl.txt) +num: Start at line number num.
