pager for manForum: User Feedback Topic: pager for man started by: byeyassin Posted by byeyassin on Mar. 16 2005,15:52
Usually the PAGER environment variable allows one to set ones preferred pager in the man programm. For example I can set the PAGER variable to less or another pager. This seems to be ignored by the DSL man programm. I always end up in links or so. However the PAGER variable should be honored.-Hanspeter Posted by mikshaw on Mar. 16 2005,15:56
The DSL man doesn't use a pager because it's not really man....it's apparently a script which connects to an online manpage database.
