SYNOPSIS

       vii [ option...  ]
       vii -Help
       vii -VERSion

DESCRIPTION

       The  vii  command  accepts  input  from the standard input and displays
       pages of the input on the crt.  These pages are delimited by form-feeds
       (or  EOF) and only as much as will fit on the screen will be displayed.

       The vii command can also repeatedly execute a  command,  and  the  most
       recent output is displayed.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       -Execute string
               The given string is executed.  The command should be in quotes.

       -Interval number
               Commands executed with the -Execute option will  be  reexecuted
               after the given interval in seconds.

       -Terminal string
               Use  the terminal type given, rather than the type given in the
               TERM environment variable.

       -Help   Display some help on how to used the vii(1) command.

       -VERSion
               Display the versin of the vii(1) command.

COMMANDS

       The following commands may be used to navigate the displayed text

       q Q     Quit out of vii(1).  As much of possible of the display is pre-
               served.   The interrupt key (usually ^C) will also cause vii(1)
               to quit.

       ^L ^R   Redraw the screen.  This can be useful if a background  process
               has overwritten the display.

       j ^E CR Scroll down one line.

       k ^Y    Scroll up one line.

       J ^F SP Scroll down one screen of text.

       K ^B    Scroll up one screen of text.

       c C ^C  Show the date and time in the top right corner of the screen.

              do
                   ps axu
                   echo | tr '\12' '\14'
                   sleep 15
              done | vii
       If you don't have a Berkeley style ps(1) command, you will need to sup-
       ply options as appropriate.
