This +is a free clone of it, and it is intended to conform to the SVID 4 as well +as the SUSv2 specification of this command. + +Contrasting to the System V implementation, this one filters backspace +formatting sequences while searching, so you can comfortably search in nroff +output like manual pages. + +This code uses routines as defined by SUSv2, so a glibc version of 2.1 or +higher is required on Linux. A curses implementation (like ncurses) must +be present as well. + +If large files > 2GB are supported by the kernel and the C library, pg is +able to handle them. + +Please send comments, bug-reports and especially bug-fixes to +<g-r@bigfoot.de> . + +Gunnar Ritter +Freiburg i.
