# Pagers
Pagers in linux are used to diplay text that is larger then the terminal size while allowing the user to scroll through the contents of the file page by page or in some cases line by line and provide extra functions like searching
Some applications will send there output into a pager instead of going through STDOUT usually this option can be removed using a flag, this flag is usually along the lines of `--no-pager`
An example of a pager is the `less` and `more` applications, less is usually the default pager application
