most is a pager (like less) that displays, one windowful at a time,
|
|
|
|
|
the contents of a file on a terminal. It pauses after each windowful
|
|
|
|
|
and prints the following on the window status line: the screen, the
|
|
|
|
|
file name, current line number, and the percentage of the file so far
|
|
|
|
|
displayed.

In addition to displaying ordinary text files, most can also display
|
|
|
|
|
binary files as well as files with arbitrary ascii characters. As an
|
|
|
|
|
option, autosensing of binary files can be disabled (via the -k
|
|
|
|
|
option), thereby allowing one to browse files encoded in a different
|
|
|
|
|
language (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc).
