NAME
zmore - file perusal filter for crt viewing of compressed text
SYNOPSIS
zmore [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Zmore is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files one
screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal. zmore works on files compressed with
compress, pack or gzip, and also on uncompressed files. If a file does not exist,
zmore looks for a file of the same name with the addition of a .gz, .z or .Z suf-
fix.
Zmore normally pauses after each screenful, printing --More-- at the bottom of the
screen. If the user then types a carriage return, one more line is displayed. If
the user hits a space, another screenful is displayed. Other possibilities are
enumerated later.
Zmore looks in the file /etc/termcap 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. To use a pager other than the default more,
set environment variable PAGER to the name of the desired program, such as less.
Other sequences which may be typed when zmore 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 argument 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 or q When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed, this command causes
zmore to exit.
s When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed, this command causes
zmore to skip the next file and continue.
= Display the current line number.
i/expr search for the i-th occurrence of the regular expression expr. If the pat-
tern is not found, zmore 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 command. The character ‘!’ in "command" is replaced
with 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 necessary 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-\). Zmore 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 waiting in the terminal’s output queue are flushed when
the quit signal occurs.
The terminal is set to noecho mode by this program so that the output can be con-
tinuous. What you type will thus not show on your terminal, except for the / and !
commands.
If the standard output is not a teletype, then zmore acts just like zcat, except
that a header is printed before each file.
