MORE (1) BDS C Users' Group MORE (1)
NAME NAME
more - list file(s) to terminal
SYNOPSIS SYNOPSIS
more more [filedesc] ...
DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION
____ More is a program which lists one or more files, a page (or
a user-selectable amount) at a time, on the console. The
names of the files to be listed are supplied as arguments on
the command line; if no arguments are given, the user is
prompted for filename(s).
For each file, the first page's worth of lines is listed and
then the user is prompted with "more? ". At this point,
the following replies are accepted:
N stop listing file, go on to next
Y or (newline) list next page
S list next half page
0 go back to start of file, and list first page
nnn list next nnn lines
-nnn back up nnn lines, then list a page
CAVEATS CAVEATS
This program was tested with v1.50 of the BDS C compiler
under CP/M 2.2. It should work with other versions of BDS C
and CP/M, but has not been tested.
EXAMPLES EXAMPLES
more abc.c xyz.dat lists files abc.c and xyz.dat in turn
more prompts for files to be listed
BUGS BUGS
Backing up nnn lines is only very approximate (it actually
backs up approximately nnn/3 sectors). The only excuse for
this is to prevent the overhead of going back to the
beginning of a possibly large file and rereading most of
it.
NOTES NOTES
Requires fseek.c for link.
