| Nov 18, 2016 at 3:06 | comment | added | slm♦ | @waste - ah I see what you mean. The man page does a poor job of describing that switch: "-S or --chop-long-lines Causes lines longer than the screen width to be chopped (truncated) rather than wrapped. That is, the portion of a long line that does not fit in the screen width is not shown. The default is to wrap long lines; that is, display the remainder on the next line.". | |
| Nov 18, 2016 at 3:03 | comment | added | waste | @slm I am not sure that is the case for less -S. When you close less view everything disappears, but as long as you are in the view, you can scroll vertically but also horizontally. Copying might be difficult, though. | |

| Aug 13, 2015 at 2:34 | comment | added | Felipe Alvarez | will ps always output the columns in the way you expect sort to see/process them? | |
