We have used the paging program 'less' for quite long time, and found it more powerful than 'more' the erstwhile paging program. Now its time to move ahead with 'most'. The new way to view text/binary files. Some of the important options ... -b : To open a binary file. -M: To disable use of mmap. Good for viewing really large files. -c: To make searches case sensitive. Now some important commands ... R, Ctrl-R: To redraw the window SPACE: To display next page of the file E, e: To edit current file q : To exit Ctrl-X 2: To split window horizontally o, Ctrl-X O: To switch between split windows Ctrl-X 0: To delete current window Ctrl-G: To abort from command which is waiting for some input *It seems 'most' developers are emacs fans; emacs users would find easy to use some similar commands with most. Check out the man pages for more details, and to see how you can leverage the features it provides for your fun! |
