- NAME
- zmore - file perusal filter for crt viewing of compressed
- text
-
- SYNOPSIS
- zmore [ name ... ]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- _✓Z_✓m_✓o_✓r_✓e is a filter which allows examination of compressed
- text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal.
- It normally pauses after each screenful, printing --More--
- at the bottom of the screen. If the user then types a car-
- riage return, one more line is displayed. If the user hits
- a space, another screenful is displayed. Other possibilites
- are enumerated later.
-
- _✓Z_✓m_✓o_✓r_✓e looks in the file /_✓e_✓t_✓c/_✓t_✓e_✓r_✓m_✓c_✓a_✓p to determine terminal
- characteristics, and to determine the default window size.
- On a terminal capable of displaying 24 lines, the default
- window size is 22 lines.
-
- Other sequences which may be typed when _✓z_✓m_✓o_✓r_✓e pauses, and
- their effects, are as follows (_✓i is an optional integer
- argument, defaulting to 1) :
-
- _✓i<space>
- display _✓i more lines, (or another screenful if no argu-
- ment is given)
-
- ^D display 11 more lines (a ``scroll''). If _✓i is given,
- then the scroll size is set to _✓i.
-
- d same as ^D (control-D)
-
- _✓iz same as typing a space except that _✓i, if present,
- becomes the new window size. Note that the window size
- reverts back to the default at the end of the current
- file.
-
- _✓is skip _✓i lines and print a screenful of lines
-
- _✓if skip _✓i screenfuls and print a screenful of lines
-
- q or Q
- quit reading the current file; go on to the next (if
- any)
-
- e When the prompt --More--(Next file: _✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e) is printed,
- this command causes zmore to exit.
-
- = Display the current line number.

- _✓i/expr
- search for the _✓i-th occurrence of the regular expres-
- sion _✓e_✓x_✓p_✓r. If the pattern is not found, _✓z_✓m_✓o_✓r_✓e goes on
- to the next file (if any). Otherwise, a screenful is
- displayed, starting two lines before the place where
- the expression was found. The user's erase and kill
- characters may be used to edit the regular expression.
- Erasing back past the first column cancels the search
- command.
-
- _✓in search for the _✓i-th occurrence of the last regular
- expression entered.
-
- !command
- invoke a shell with _✓c_✓o_✓m_✓m_✓a_✓n_✓d. The character `!' in "com-
- mand" are replaced with the the previous shell command.
- The sequence "\!" is replaced by "!".
-
- :q or :Q
- quit reading the current file; go on to the next (if
- any) (same as q or Q).
-
- . (dot) repeat the previous command.
-
- The commands take effect immediately, i.e., it is not neces-
- sary to type a carriage return. Up to the time when the
- command character itself is given, the user may hit the line
- kill character to cancel the numerical argument being
- formed. In addition, the user may hit the erase character
- to redisplay the --More-- message.
-
- At any time when output is being sent to the terminal, the
- user can hit the quit key (normally control-\). _✓Z_✓m_✓o_✓r_✓e will
- stop sending output, and will display the usual --More--
- prompt. The user may then enter one of the above commands
- in the normal manner. Unfortunately, some output is lost
- when this is done, due to the fact that any characters wait-
- ing in the terminal's output queue are flushed when the quit
- signal occurs.
-
- The terminal is set to _✓n_✓o_✓e_✓c_✓h_✓o mode by this program so that
- the output can be continuous. What you type will thus not
- show on your terminal, except for the / and ! commands.
-
- If the standard output is not a teletype, then _✓z_✓m_✓o_✓r_✓e acts
- just like _✓z_✓c_✓a_✓t, except that a header is printed before each
- file.
