P(1)

🎀 p — paginate 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual, section 1 — this is literally the page for p, and it is giving “tiny but useful” energy. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

p — paginate.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

p [ -number ] [ file ...  ]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so P copies its standard input — or the named files if you gave them — straight to its standard output. It stops at the end of every 22nd line, and it also stops between files, to wait for a newline from the user. The option sets the number of lines on a page. No cap. 💅

While waiting for a newline, p interprets these commands:

• ! — Pass the rest of the line to the shell as a command.
• q — Quit.

🦋 SOURCE 🦋

okay bye bestie 🫶💖 — the source is /src/cmd/p.c, this page lives in the General Commands Manual, section 1, and there’s no version or date line listed on the page, so that’s the whole footer vibe. periodt ✨💅
