pg—displays files one page at a time


pg [ –number ] [ –p string ] [ –cefnrs ] [ +linenumber ]

   [ +/pattern/ ] [ filename ... ]


The pg command is a filter that allows you to page through filenames one screenful at a time on a terminal. If no filename is specified or if it encounters the filename , pg reads from standard input. Each screenful is followed by a prompt. If the user types a return, another page is displayed. It allows you to back up and review something that has already passed. (See more.)
