Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can run the more command to display the file content directly on a device.

The following describes the drive name.
- drive is the storage device and is named as flash:.
- If devices are stacked, drive can be named as:
  - flash: root directory of the flash memory of the master switch in the stack.
  - chassis ID#flash: root directory of the flash memory on a device in the stack.
  For example, slot2#flash: indicates the flash memory in slot 2.
The path can be an absolute path or relative path. A relative path can be designated relative to either the root directory or the current working directory. A relative path beginning with a slash (/) is a path relative to the root directory.
- flash:/my/test/ is an absolute path.
- /selftest/ is a path relative to the root directory and indicates the selftest directory in the root directory.
- selftest/ is a path relative to the current working directory and indicates the selftest directory in the current working directory.

Precautions

You are not advised to use this command to display non-text files; otherwise, the terminal is shut down or displays garbled characters, which is harmless to the system.
Files are displayed in text format.
You can display the file content flexibly by specifying parameters before running the more command:
- You can run the more filename command to view a specified text file. The content of the specified text file is displayed on multiple screens. You can press the spacebar consecutively on the current session GUI to display all content of the file.
  To display the file content on multiple screens, you must ensure that:
  - The number of lines that can be displayed on a terminal screen is greater than 0. (The number of lines that can be displayed on a terminal screen is set by running the screen-length command.)
  - The total number of file lines is greater than the number of lines that can be displayed on a terminal screen. (The number of lines that can be displayed on a terminal screen is set by running the screen-length command.)
- You can run the more filename offset command to view a specified file. The content of the specified text file starting from offset is displayed on multiple screens. You can press the spacebar consecutively on the current session GUI to display all content of the file.
  To display the file content on multiple screens, you must ensure that:
  - The number of lines that can be displayed on a terminal screen is greater than 0. (The number of lines that can be displayed on a terminal screen is set by running the screen-length command.)
  - The number of lines starting from offset in the file is greater than the number of lines that can be displayed on a terminal screen. (The number of lines that can be displayed on a terminal screen is set by running the screen-length command.)
- You can run the more file-name all command to view a specified file. The file content is displayed on one screen.
