Bash more

19 September 2021

more is a historical Unix command used to see, but not modify, a content file.

more is a very basic pager, originally allowing only forward navigation through a file, though newer implementations do allow for limited backward movement. (From wikipedia)

Note: all example below could be execute in a container:

docker run -it  ubuntu /bin/bash

Display the content beginning from a specific line

$ more +55 /etc/gai.conf

Display the contents of gai.conf from line 55

Display the content from a specific regexp

$ more +/"scopev[0-4] :" /etc/gai.conf
