NAME¶

dvtm-pager — select appropriate pager for dvtm

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

dvtm-pager is an utility used by the dvtm(1) terminal multiplexer to display its scrollback history using a suitable pager.

The invoked pager is expected to display the data sent to its standard input. The data stream might contain ANSI color escape sequence. All command line arguments are forwarded verbatim. dvtm(1) uses this to adjust the initial view port by passing +n, meaning the start of line n should be displayed.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶

dvtm-pager will try to find the preferred pager by checking these variables in order:

DVTM_PAGER

Permitting to invoke a pager specific to dvtm, or set particular flags such as -R for less(1).

PAGER

Falling back to the default pager.

If none of these variables are set, less(1) is used.
