What is the purpose of '+/<pattern>'?

The purpose of +/<pattern> in the command more +/<pattern> filename is to specify a search pattern that determines where to start displaying the contents of the file.

  • When you use +/<pattern>, it instructs the more command to begin outputting the file from the first line that matches the specified pattern.
  • This allows you to quickly navigate to a specific section of the file without having to scroll through all the preceding lines.

For example, if you want to view a file starting from a particular keyword or phrase, using +/<pattern> helps you jump directly to that point in the file, making it easier to find relevant information.
