.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|

|
|
.Xr less 1
|
|
on the output of
|
|
.Xr mshow 1
|

|
for the message argument syntax.
|
|
.Pc
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When no messages are passed and the standard input is from a pipe,
|
|
.Ql mseq -S
|
|
is called to set the current sequence;
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is then 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 pipeline.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will start
|
|
.Xr less 1
|
|
and display the current message, if possible.
|
|
Use
|
|
.Sq Ic ":n"
|
|
and
|
|
.Sq Ic ":p"
|
|
to read the next (resp. previous) message.
