Description
xzmore is a filter which allows examination of xz(1) or lzma(1) compressed text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal.
To use a pager other than the default more, set environment variable PAGER to the name of the desired program. The name lzmore is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
- e or q
When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed, this command causes xzmore to exit.
- s
When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed, this command causes xzmore to skip the next file and continue.
For list of keyboard commands supported while actually viewing the content of a file, refer to manual of the pager you use, usually more(1).
