BBDUMP and BBLIST
both have a /P option to page output. This option supports two suboptions:
/P:time,lines
| time | time in seconds, or (with a trailing M) milliseconds |
| lines | number of lines to display before pausing |
Both time and lines are optional. The colon is not required, but you must use the comma if you want to specify lines.
rem Scroll every five seconds:
bbdump %bbuf /p:5
rem Display ten lines at a time:
bbdump %bbuf /p:,10
rem Display twenty lines at a time, and
rem scroll every 2.5 seconds:
bbdump %bbuf /p:2500m,20
At the “Press a key to continue” prompt, most keys will advance by another screenful (or lines). But a few keys behave differently:
| A or C | turns off paging, and scrolls continuously |
| Esc or Ctrl-C | aborts the current command |
| / | scrolls half a screen, or half of lines |
| 1 to 9 | scrolls that many lines, e.g. 3 scrolls three lines |
