Searching and Filtering Output of show and more Commands

You can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This is useful when you need to sort
through large amounts of output or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see. Using these
commands is optional.
OL-28354-01
Purpose
Displays the global configuration command entry that extends beyond
one line.
When the cursor first reaches the end of the line, the line is shifted ten
spaces to the left and redisplayed. The dollar sign ($) shows that the
line has been scrolled to the left. Each time the cursor reaches the end
of the line, the line is again shifted ten spaces to the left.
Checks the complete syntax.
The dollar sign ($) appears at the end of the line to show that the line
has been scrolled to the right.
Execute the commands.
The software assumes that you have a terminal screen that is 80 columns
wide. If you have a different width, use the terminal width privileged
EXEC command to set the width of your terminal.
Use line wrapping with the command history feature to recall and
modify previous complex command entries.
