     ZMORE(1)                  UNIX System V                  ZMORE(1)

     NAME
          zmore - file perusal filter for crt viewing of compressed
          text

     SYNOPSIS
          zmore [ name ...  ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Zmore is a filter which allows examination of compressed or
          plain text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy
          terminal.  zmore works on files compressed with compress,
          pack or gzip, and also on uncompressed files.  If a file
          does not exist, zmore looks for a file of the same name with
          the addition of a .gz, .z or .Z suffix.

          Zmore 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.

          Zmore looks in the file /etc/termcap 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 more, set environment variable PAGER to the name of
          the desired program, such as less.

          Other sequences which may be typed when zmore pauses, and
          their effects, are as follows (i is an optional integer
          argument, defaulting to 1) :

          i<space>
               display i more lines, (or another screenful if no
               argument is given)

          ^D   display 11 more lines (a ``scroll'').  If i is given,
               then the scroll size is set to i.

          d    same as ^D (control-D)

          iz   same as typing a space except that i, if present,
               becomes the new window size.  Note that the window size
               reverts back to the default at the end of the current
               file.

          is   skip i lines and print a screenful of lines

          if   skip i screenfuls and print a screenful of lines

               any)

          e or q
               When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed,
               this command causes zmore to exit.

          s    When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed,
               this command causes zmore to skip the next file and
               continue.

          =    Display the current line number.

          i/expr
               search for the i-th occurrence of the regular
               expression expr.  If the pattern is not found, zmore
               goes on to the next file (if any).  Otherwise, a
               screenful is displayed, starting two lines before the
               place where the expression was found.  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.

          in   search for the i-th occurrence of the last regular
               expression entered.

          !command
               invoke a shell with command.  The character `!' in
               "command" are replaced with the previous shell command.
               The sequence "\!" is replaced by "!".

          :q or :Q
               quit reading the current file; go on to the next (if
               any) (same as q or Q).

          .    (dot) repeat the previous command.

          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.

          At any time when output is being sent to the terminal, the
          user can hit the quit key (normally control-\).  Zmore 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.

          The terminal is set to noecho 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.

          If the standard output is not a teletype, then zmore acts
          just like zcat, except that a header is printed before each
          file.
