从特定行读取手册页或文件

Question

Is there a way to read a man page from a certain row?

I grepped for a specific flag in a man page and saw what line it was in, is there a way start reading the man form that line?

Answer 1

man uses $MANPAGER or $PAGER, so it depends on what you're using. To start reading the manpage for foo at the first match of 'pattern', you might try:

MANPAGER='less -p pattern' man foo

or (assuming ${MANPAGER-PAGER} is less ):

LESS+='-p pattern' man foo
