README for the "pg" utility for Linux. The "pg" utility is the historic System V equivalent to BSD's "more". This is a free clone of it, and it is intended to conform to the SVID 4 as well as the SUSv2 specification of this command. Contrasting to the System V implementation, this one filters backspace formatting sequences while searching, so you can comfortably search in nroff output like manual pages. This code uses routines as defined by SUSv2, so a glibc version of 2.1 or higher is required on Linux. A curses implementation (like ncurses) must be present as well. If large files > 2GB are supported by the kernel and the C library, pg is able to handle them. Please send comments, bug-reports and especially bug-fixes to . Gunnar Ritter Freiburg i. Br. Germany
