When reading man pages, a lot of extra characters are shown on screen. Which of the following commands can help to deal with this problem?
grep
pg
more
row
col
I think it's more
but I'm not sure.
more
is used for pagination. Say you need to read some long output by page and press enter to goto next content. If this is what is meant by your question then yes more
is the option. [more
manpage].
try man grep
& man grep | more
- you will know the difference.
grep
is used for filtering. [grep manpage]
man grep | more
is worse. By default man
will use less
. And less
is more than more
.

LANG=C man some_command
