SENSIBLE-PAGER(1)
โจ NAME โจ
sensible-pager ๐ is the sensible paging tool, basically the manual page for sensible-pager itself. It's giving main character energy ๐
๐ง SYNOPSIS ๐ง
sensible-pager [OPTIONS...]
๐ DESCRIPTION ๐
Okay so bestie, sensible-pager is the one who makes all the smart choices about which pager to call ๐ซถ No cap, it's literally the decision maker. Programs in Debian can totally use this script as their default pager, or they can copy how it behaves ๐ฆ Iconic.
๐ธ SEE ALSO ๐ธ
Check out the documentation of the PAGER variable in environ(7) ๐ That's where the whole pager vibe is explained โจ
๐ STANDARD ๐
Ngl, the official details on how sensible-utils behaves on a Debian system live under section 11.4 of debian-policy ๐ค It's usually installed in /usr/share/doc/debian-policy, but you might need to install debian-policy first, so don't panic if it's missing ๐
Heads up: that doc is where the real rules are, so go check it if you want the full tea โ
Bestie, that's the whole page ๐ Written for Debian, dated 12 Jan 2020, and I'm obsessed with how cute the pager is ๐โจ
