Scrolling command line terminal
Hi i have recently installed gentoo on my machine. When i search the portage tree, i get a list of packages that scroll very quickly on the terminal window. So i can't see which pacakges were found in my search, is there anyway I can scroll back up the screen to see every package that was listed?
Thanks in advance |
more <filename> will let you page down
less <filename> will let you scroll through the file by page or line, up or down (as well as search on specific strings). do a man less for more info |
What he means is "pipe the output into more or less" by entering
$ <command producing output> | less wwhere <...> is, of course, the actual command. |
Thanks!!!
