Hi,
    truss command | more

Why more doesn't give the result one screenful at a time as it works in
other cases. ?

Regards,
Nithyanand.

"more" prints the output one screen at a time
only if the output comes to standard output

The truss command sends its output to std err

so if you give more, the more will only
be applicable to the output from the
command "command" and not on truss's output.

If you want to see truss output also
on screen, one screen at a time try this

truss command  2>&1 | more
