Different systems render man pages differently. Some paginated the pages by default, some don't. How can I control the pagination behaviour?
And how can I configure the page height (in lines) when pagination is enabled?
For example, on Solaris 10, when I view man pages in the terminal (e.g. man man
) they are paginated like this:
User Commands man(1)
...
SunOS 5.10 Last change: 29 Apr 2010 1
User Commands man(1)
...
SunOS 5.10 Last change: 29 Apr 2010 2
...
On Fedora Linux the same call just renders one big page:
MAN(1) Manual pager utils MAN(1)
...
2.7.6.1 2016-12-12 MAN(1)
