Description

more is as specified in the SUS but with differences as listed below.

Differences

-num

specifies an integer which is the screen size (in lines).

-d

prompts 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.

-e

has implementation-dependent behavior.

-l

prevents the typical behavior where more treats ^L (form feed) as a special character and pauses after any line that contains a form feed.

-i

has implementation-dependent behavior.

-f

counts logical, rather than screen lines (i.e., long lines are not folded).

-n

has implementation-dependent behavior.

-p

does not scroll. Instead, clear the whole screen and then display the text.

+/

specifies a string that will be searched for before each file is displayed.

+num

starts at line number num.
