BZMORE(1) General Commands Manual BZMORE(1) NNAAMMEE bzmore, bzless - file perusal filter for crt viewing of bzip2 com- pressed text SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS bbzzmmoorree [ name ... ] bbzzlleessss [ name ... ] NNOOTTEE In the following description, _b_z_l_e_s_s and _l_e_s_s can be used interchange- ably with _b_z_m_o_r_e and _m_o_r_e_. DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN _B_z_m_o_r_e is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal. _b_z_m_o_r_e works on files compressed with _b_z_i_p_2 and also on uncompressed files. If a file does not exist, _b_z_m_o_r_e looks for a file of the same name with the addi- tion of a .bz2 suffix. _B_z_m_o_r_e 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. _B_z_m_o_r_e looks in the file _/_e_t_c_/_t_e_r_m_c_a_p to determine terminal character- istics, and to determine the default window size. On a terminal capa- ble of displaying 24 lines, the default window size is 22 lines. Other sequences which may be typed when _b_z_m_o_r_e pauses, and their effects, are as follows (_i is an optional integer argument, defaulting to 1) : _i 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: _f_i_l_e) is printed, this com- mand causes bzmore to exit. s When the prompt --More--(Next file: _f_i_l_e) is printed, this com- mand causes bzmore to skip the next file and continue. = Display the current line number. _i/expr search for the _i-th occurrence of the regular expression _e_x_p_r_. If the pattern is not found, _b_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 "command" are 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 charac- ter 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-\). _B_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 waiting 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 _b_z_m_o_r_e acts just like _b_z_c_a_t_, except that a header is printed before each file.
