| Details | ||
|
The page command displays the supplied file a screen page at a time on a new virtual console. If no arguments are provided, standard input is paged.
The command uses keyboard input to control paging. For example, a space character advances one screen page and ENTER advances one line. Enter 'h' for a listing of the available pager commands and actions. |

While the current implementation does not pre-read an input stream, nothing will be displayed until the next screen full is available. Also, the entire contents of the file or input stream will be buffered in memory.
A number useful features supported by typical 'more' and 'less' commands have not been implemented yet. |
