30 | .Nm zmore | |
31 | .Op Ar flags | |
32 | .Op Ar file ... | |
33 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
34 | .Nm | |
35 | is a filter that allows the viewing of files compressed with Lempel-Ziv | |
36 | encoding. | |
37 | Such files generally have a | |
38 | .Dq Z | |
39 | or | |
40 | .Dq gz | |
41 | extension (both the | |
42 | .Xr compress 1 | |
43 | and | |
44 | .Xr gzip 1 | |
45 | formats are supported). | |
46 | Any | |
47 | .Ar flags | |
48 | that are specified are passed to the user's preferred | |
49 | .Ev PAGER | |
50 | (which is | |
51 | .Pa /usr/bin/more | |
52 | by default). | |
53 | .Pp | |
54 | When multiple files are specified, | |
55 | .Nm | |
56 | will pause at the end of each file and present the following prompt to the user: | |
57 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | |
58 | prev_file (END) - Next: next_file | |
59 | .Ed | |
60 | .Pp | |
61 | Where | |
62 | .Sy prev_file | |
63 | is the file that was just displayed and | |
64 | .Sy next_file | |
65 | is the next file to be displayed. | |
66 | The following keys are recognized at the prompt: | |
67 | .Bl -tag -width "e or q" -offset indent | |
68 | .It Ic e No or Ic q | |
69 | quit | |
70 | .Nm zmore . | |
71 | .It Ic s | |
72 | skip the next file (or exit if the next file is the last). | |
73 | .El | |
74 | .Pp | |
75 | If no files are specified, | |
76 | .Nm | |
77 | will read from the standard input. | |
78 | In this mode | |
79 | .Nm | |
80 | will assume | |
81 | .Xr gzip 1 | |
82 | style compression since there is no suffix on which to make a decision. | |
83 | .Sh ENVIRONMENT | |
84 | .Bl -tag -width "PAGER" | |
85 | .It Ev PAGER | |
86 | Program used to display files. | |
87 | If unset, | |
88 | .Pa /usr/bin/more | |
89 | is used. | |
