+<tt class="COMMAND">more</tt>, <tt class="COMMAND">less</tt>, and <tt
+class="COMMAND">most</tt></a></h1>
+
+<div class="SECT2">
+<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN3491" name="AEN3491">10.2.1 <tt
+class="COMMAND">more</tt></a></h2>
+
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">more</tt>(1) is what we call a pager utility. Oftentimes the
+output of a particular command is too big to fit on one screen. The individual commands
+do not know how to fit their output to separate screens. They leave this job to the pager
+utility.</p>
+
+<p>The <tt class="COMMAND">more</tt> command breaks the output into individual screens
+and waits for you to press the space bar before continuing on to the next screen.
+Pressing the enter key will advance the output one line. Here is a good example:</p>
+
+<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+<tr>
+<td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">cd /usr/bin</kbd>
+<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ls -l</kbd>
+</pre>
+</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>That should scroll for a while. To break up the output screen by screen, just pipe it
+through more:</p>
+
+<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%">
+<tr>
+<td>
+<pre class="SCREEN">
+<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ls -l | more</kbd>
+</pre>
+</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>That is the pipe character (shift backslash). The pipe is short for saying take the
+output of <tt class="COMMAND">ls</tt> and feed it into <tt class="COMMAND">more</tt>. You
+can pipe just about anything through the <tt class="COMMAND">more</tt> command, not just
+<tt class="COMMAND">ls</tt>. Piping is also covered in <a
+href="shell-command-line.html#SHELL-COMMAND-LINE-PIPING">Section 8.2.3</a>.</p>

+
+<div class="SECT2">
+<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN3518" name="AEN3518">10.2.2 <tt
+class="COMMAND">less</tt></a></h2>
+
+<p>The <tt class="COMMAND">more</tt> command is quite handy, but often you will find that
+you have advanced past the screen you wanted. more does not provide a way to go back. The
+<tt class="COMMAND">less</tt>(1) command provides this functionality. It is used in the
+same way as the <tt class="COMMAND">more</tt> command, so the previous examples apply
+here too. So, <tt class="COMMAND">less</tt> is more than <tt class="COMMAND">more</tt>.
+Joost Kremers puts it this way:</p>
+
+<a id="AEN3530" name="AEN3530"></a>
+<blockquote class="BLOCKQUOTE">
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">less</tt> is more, but more <tt class="COMMAND">more</tt> than <tt
+class="COMMAND">more</tt> is, so <tt class="COMMAND">more</tt> is less <tt
+class="COMMAND">less</tt>, so use more <tt class="COMMAND">less</tt> if you want less <tt
+class="COMMAND">more</tt>.</p>
+</blockquote>
+</div>
+
+<div class="SECT2">
+<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN3539" name="AEN3539">10.2.3 <tt
+class="COMMAND">most</tt></a></h2>
+
+<p>Where <tt class="COMMAND">more</tt> and <tt class="COMMAND">less</tt> leave off, <tt
+class="COMMAND">most</tt>(1) picks back up. If <tt class="COMMAND">less</tt> is more than
+<tt class="COMMAND">more</tt>, <tt class="COMMAND">most</tt> is more than <tt
+class="COMMAND">less</tt>. Whereas the other pagers can only display one file at a time,
+<tt class="COMMAND">most</tt> is capable of viewing any number of files, as long as each
+file's window is at least 2 lines long. <tt class="COMMAND">most</tt> has a lot of
+options, check the man page for full details.</p>
