mless —
conveniently read messages in less(1)
mless |
[msg] |
mless runs less(1) on
the output of mshow(1) for the current sequence. Display
starts with the current message, or msg if passed.
(See mmsg(7) for the message argument syntax.)
When no messages are passed and the standard input is from a pipe,
‘mseq -S’ is called to set the current
sequence; mless is then run on the resulting
sequence. The first "file" of the less instance will be the output
of mscan(1). This makes mless
convenient for use at the end of a pipeline.
mless will start less(1)
and display the current message, if possible. Use
‘:n’ and
‘:p’ to read the next (resp. previous)
message.
The mless utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
