You may use printenv | grep LESS to search for any option used in your environment. Currently the options used in man-db-2.6.3/include/manconfig.h.in are #define LESS_OPTS "-ix8RmPm%s$PM%s$" which leads to e.g. LESS=-ix8RmPm Manual page man(1) ?ltline %lt?L/%L.:byte %bB?s/%s..?e (END):?pB %pB\%..$PM Manual page man(1) ?ltline %lt?L/%L.:byte %bB?s/%s..?e (END):?pB %pB\%..$-sM in the environment ... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
