Description of changes:
Inspired by the CLI Guidelines (https://clig.dev/#output); also, I always pipe
ion beta inspect
to less, but usually after I've forgotten to do that and blown away my terminal by trying to inspect a huge file.This PR directs output to the pager specified by the
PAGER
environment variable, orless -FIRX
if the environment variable is not set. Note: a pager is not used if the output is not a TTY.less -FIRX
has the following behavior:less
quitsCurrently a pager is not used on Windows because the
pager
crate appears to be Unix-only. It looks like there may be some pure Rust pager implementations that we could probably use instead. I liked this one because it allows users to bring their own pager. Before going deeper into this I wanted to open this PR for discussion.By submitting this pull request, I confirm that my contribution is made under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license.
