TERM

Determines the name of the terminal type.

International Code Set Support

Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.

APPLICATION USAGE

When the standard output is not a terminal, none of the ®lter-modi®cation options is effective. This is based on historical practice. For example, a typical implementation of man pipes its output through more -sto squeeze excess white space for terminal users. When man is piped to lp, however, it is undesirable for this squeezing to happen.

EXAMPLES

To view a simple ®le, use:

more ®lename

To preview nroff output, use a command resembling:

nroff -mm +2 doc.n more -s

If the ®le contains tables, use:

tbl ®le nroff -mm col more -s

To display ®le stuff in a ®fteen line-window and convert multiple adjacent blank lines into a single blank line:

more -s -n 15 stuff

To examine each ®le with its last screenful:

more -p G ®le1 ®le2

To examine each ®le starting with line 100 in the current position (third line, so line 98 is the ®rst line writ- ten):

more -p 100g ®le1 ®le2

To examine the ®le that contains the tagstring tag with line 30 in the current position:

more -t tag -p 30g

WARNINGS

Standard error, ®le descriptor 2, is normally used for input during interactive use and should not be redirected (see Input/Output section in the manpage of the shell in use).
