:e[file]
E[file] Examine a new file. If the file argument is not specified, the "current" file (see the
:n
and :p commands) from the list of files in the command line is reexamined. The file
name is subjected to the process of shell word expansions. If file is a
# (number sign)
character, the previously examined file is reexamined.
i
:n Examine the next file. If i is specified, examines the i-th next file specified in the com-
mand line.
i
:p Examine the previous file. If a number i is specified, examines the i-th previous file
specified in the command line.
:t tagstring Go to the supplied tagstring and scroll or rewrite the screen with that line in the
current position.
m letter Mark the current position with the specified letter, where letter represents the name
of one of the lowercase letters of the portable character set.
’ letter Return to the position that was previously marked with the specified letter,making
that line the current position.
r
Ctrl-l Refresh the screen.
R Refresh the screen, discarding any buffered input.
. Dot. Repeat the previous command.
^\ Halt a partial display of text. more stops sending output, and displays the usual
prompt. Unfortunately, some output is lost as a result.
The commands take effect immediately; that is, it is not necessary to press Return. Up to the time when
the command character itself is given, the line kill character can be used to cancel the numerical argument
being formed.
If the standard output is not a teletype,
more is equivalent to cat(1).
more supports the SIGWINCH signal, and redraws the screen in response to window size changes.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
COLUMNS Overrides the system-selected horizontal screen size.
EDITOR Used by the v command to select an editor.
LANG Provides a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. If
LANG is unset or null, the default value of "C" (see lang(5)) is used. If any of the interna-
tionalization variables contains an invalid setting, more will behave as if all internationali-
zation variables are set to "C". See environ(5).
LC_ALL If set to a nonempty string value, overrides the values of all the other internationalization
variables.
LC_CTYPE Determines the interpretation of text as single and/or multibyte characters, the
classification of characters as printable, and the characters matched by character class
expressions in regular expressions.
LC_MESSAGES
Determines the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic
messages written to standard error and informative messages written to standard output.
NLSPATH Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES .
LINES Overrides the system-selected vertical screen size, used as the number of lines in a screen-
ful. The -n option takes precedence over the LINES variable for determining the number
of lines in a screenful.
MORE Determines a string containing options, preceded with hyphens and blank-character-
separated as on the command line. Any command-line options are processed after those in
the MORE variable. The MORE variable takes precedence over the TERM and LINES vari-
ables for determining the number of lines in a screenful.
