When navigating through Linux man pages, sometimes you need to query the meaning of flags like -p
or -al
in the man pages.
The default text reader for man pages is less and I'm trying to use the / search to find the first occurrence from the commons flag list definitions using:
/^-p
But Pattern not found
happen and not works.
This trick works when working in vim, but not applicable in less when reading the man pages.
Is there a way to accomplish this requirement?
