Can you provide an example of using the 'more' command to display a file with a specified number of lines per screen?

The more command itself does not have a built-in option to specify the number of lines per screen directly. However, you can control the number of lines displayed by adjusting your terminal's window size or by using a combination of commands.

If you want to limit the output to a specific number of lines, you can use the head command in conjunction with more. For example, to display the first 20 lines of a file using more, you can do the following:

head -n 20 example.txt | more

This command will show the first 20 lines of example.txt and allow you to scroll through them using the more command.

If you want to display the entire file but limit the number of lines shown at once, you can simply use more as usual, and it will display one screenful of text at a time based on your terminal's size.
