Pager, not man....man

Well,

You have hit upon one of the neat parts of unix, the use of your environment variables to do things that make life easier, without you knowing. The reason man paginates your man pages is because your variable for PAGER is set. You can unset this, and the pages will FLY by you. You could also set it to whatever you like as a pager (pg, more, less, etc.), then it will use that program to paginate whatever you use as a command that has output that reads the PAGER var and paginates output.


I know this isn't exactly what you wanted, but there it is...

NAME
xzmore, lzmore - view xz or lzma compressed (text) files SYNOPSIS
xzmore [file...] lzmore [file...] DESCRIPTION
xzmore is a filter which allows examination of xz(1) or lzma(1) compressed text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal. To use a pager other than the default more, set environment variable PAGER to the name of the desired program. The name lzmore is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils. e or q When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed, this command causes xzmore to exit. s When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed, this command causes xzmore to skip the next file and continue. For list of keyboard commands supported while actually viewing the content of a file, refer to manual of the pager you use, usually more(1). SEE ALSO
more(1), xz(1), xzless(1), zmore(1) Tukaani 2013-06-30 XZMORE(1)
