How to split the screen in Linux to display file contents?
In Linux, you can use the following command to display file contents in split screens:
- Display file content in multiple screens using the less command.
- view the contents of file.txt
- In less, you can navigate up and down using the arrow keys, flip pages with Page Up and Page Down, and exit by pressing q.
- Display file content in split screen using the “more” command.
- Show me file.txt.
- In the “more” tool, you can use the spacebar to scroll down and press the q key to exit.
- Display file contents in split screen using the cat command combined with the less command.
- View the content of file.txt in the terminal using the less command.
- Here the output of the cat command is passed to the less command using a pipeline to achieve split screen display.
- Display the contents of a file in real-time by using the tail command to split the screen.
- Display the ongoing updates from the file.txt in real time.
- The “-f” option here allows real-time tracking of changes in the file content, so that the display will automatically update when the file changes. Pressing Ctrl + C will exit.
Here are some common methods for splitting the screen to display file content in Linux. You can choose the appropriate method based on your needs.
