-uso. It buffered text internally to allow backing up a
few
pages, so it was possible to back up even when input
didn't come from a file (something I'm not sure the
more of the time could do).
It would be nice if that was the case for more and
stdin.
more on Solaris 11.3 doesn't allow backup on stdin, nor on a recent version of
Debian Linux I checked.
I remember a while back that when man spawned more, it was stdin and you couldn't
back up on that either. Very annoying.
