SYNTAX
more [-dlfpcsu] [-num] [+/ pattern] [+ linenum] [file …]

OPTIONS
Command line options are described below. Options are also taken from
the environment variable MORE (make sure to precede them with a dash
(&qt;&qt;-&qt;)) but command line options will override them.

-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 contin­
ue, &qt;&qt;q&qt;&qt; to quit.]" and will display "[Press &qt;&qt;h&qt;&qt; 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 Suppress underlining.

+/ The +/ option specifies a string that will be searched for before
each file is displayed.

+num Start at line number num.
