<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<I>Zmore</I>
|
|
|
|
is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files
|
|
one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal.
|
|
<I>zmore</I>
|
|
|
|
works on files compressed with
|
|
<I>compress</I>,
|
|
|
|
<I>pack</I>
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
<I>gzip</I>,
|
|
|
|
and also on uncompressed files.
|
|
If a file does not exist,
|
|
<I>zmore</I>
|
|
|
|
looks for a file of the same name with the addition of a .gz, .z or .Z suffix.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<I>Zmore</I>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<I>Zmore</I>
|
|
|
|
looks in the file
|
|
<I>/etc/termcap</I>
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
<I>more</I>,
|
|
|
|
set environment variable PAGER to the name of the desired program, such as
|
|
<I>less</I>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
Other sequences which may be typed when
|
|
<I>zmore</I>
|
|
|
|
pauses, and their effects, are as follows (<I>i</I> is an optional integer
|
|
argument, defaulting to 1) :

<DL COMPACT>

<DL COMPACT>

<DT id="9"><I>i</I>/expr<DD>

search for the <I>i</I>-th occurrence of the regular expression <I>expr.</I>
|
|
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.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="10"><I>i</I>n<DD>
|

search for the <I>i</I>-th occurrence of the last regular expression entered.

|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="11">!command<DD>
|
|
invoke a shell with <I>command</I>.
|
|
The character `!' in "command" is replaced with the
|
|
previous shell command. The sequence "\!" is replaced by "!".
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="12">:q or :Q<DD>
|
|
Quit
|
|
(same as q or Q).
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="13">.<DD>
|
|
(dot) repeat the previous command.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
At any time when output is being sent to the terminal, the user can
|
|
hit the quit key (normally control-\).
|
|
<I>Zmore</I>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The terminal is set to
|
|
<I>noecho</I>
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If the standard output is not a teletype, then
|
|
<I>zmore</I>
|
|
|
|
acts just like
|
|
<I>zcat</I>,
|
|
|
|
except that a header is printed before each file
|
|
if there is more than one file.
