View and control long output ('more' feature)
If the information to display is too long to fit in your CLI window then Vyatta NOS will make use of the native Linux 'more' feature to break the output into chunks.
Commands to control the display of long output ('more')
The Linux operating system provides several commands to control the display of information with the 'more' feature; here we list a few important ones.
- To exit a 'more' display, press q
- To scroll down one whole screen, press <Space>
- To scroll up one whole screen, press b
- To scroll down one line, press <Enter>
- To scrolls up one line, press <Up Arrow>

The CLI will start to display comprehensive information, one section at a time with a break for the the 'more' prompt (a colon :). (We have removed some lines from this example, to save space.)...
