2016-07-22 19:36:46 +00:00

.Xr mmsg 7
2016-07-22 19:36:46 +00:00
for the message argument syntax.
.Pp
When no messages are passed and standard input is from a pipe,
2016-07-26 14:39:10 +00:00
.Ql mseq -S
2016-08-08 12:37:22 +00:00
will be called to set the current sequence and
2016-07-22 19:36:46 +00:00
.Nm
is run on the resulting sequence.
The first "file" of the less instance will be the output of
.Xr mscan 1 .
This makes
.Nm
convenient for use at the end of a pipe.
.Pp
.Nm
will start
.Xr less 1
displaying the current message if possible.
2016-08-08 12:37:22 +00:00
Use
.Sq Ic ":n"
and
.Sq Ic ":p"
to read the next (resp. previous) message.
