How to use the Linux more command in Linux common commands

more is one of our most commonly used tools. The most common use is to display the output content, and then display it in pages according to the size of the window, and then it can also prompt the percentage of the file.

The function of more is similar to cat. The cat command displays the contents of the entire file from top to bottom on the screen. More will display the pages one by one for the convenience of users to read page by page. The most basic instruction is to press the space key to display the next page, and press the b key to display the back page. There is also a search string function. The more command reads the file from front to back, so the entire file is loaded at startup.

1. Command format:

more [-dlfpcsu ] [-num ] [+/ pattern] [+ linenum] [file ... ]

2. Function:

The more command has the same function as cat, which is to view the contents of a file. However, the difference is that more can view the contents of a file by page and also supports functions such as direct line jump.

3. Command parameters:
