This is particularly convenient, e.g. while using git diff, to show something more readable. Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why more(1) is still the default, and/or is this just historical? - -- Davide "There are no solved problems; there are only problems that are more or less solved" -- Henri Poincare _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" - -- Jason Hellenthal Mobile: +1 (616) 953-0176 jhellenthal@DataIX.net JJH48-ARIN -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJU5R6bAAoJEDLu+wRc4KcIB8YH+wdyVQNGRPqtzdiEKAR1dGJB jc4q+2+RMs1GpDNsFzjdFBgM30MiwinZ/USZJGzWLoA7lqIHZmpM1PzsvSdMQ0oR 5e9atR+tOVkDMp6P5xXyjj6HNEwRCUv+FmHAzajpJYHqEArpms3H+MUSz8ytgiu6 sJfxpGAY0woaK/sINDV01GfYYneoqqRZtvOioSNVp94+Wtd74o5+W367mGk9vpl6 XRCbj1c0agDhi9FWptH/BcnAFV0JMnhC0v8mtgnmgdD6AoO/lwsswjZysWOJ+ooZ vZmQqk1GzK486Mb2evjgcapZfgCZx6ObRhEXa6VYfjyOz3P19syqFrfMtL+x6hQ= =7Jy7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
