Which paging utility is being used?

  • 772

At a bash prompt, hitting tab twice will come up with a prompt such as Display all 1770 possibilities? (y or n). What paging utility is bash using? It doesn't appear to be less or more. Is it something internal to bash?

bash

    Yes, this is internal to bash, and controlled by the page-completions shell option. I don't think you can configure it other than turning it on and off. (Well, you can set print-completions-horizontally.)
