more: Open a file displaying from a specific line.
$ more +${line_number} ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "more +${line_number} ${filename}" is used to display a text file on the terminal, starting from a specific line number.

Here's a breakdown of the command syntax:

  • "more" is a command-line tool in UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems used to display the contents of a file one page at a time on the terminal.
  • "+${line_number}" is an option for the "more" command. Here, ${line_number} is an argument representing the line number from which to start displaying the file.
  • "${filename}" is also an argument that specifies the name of the file you want to display.

So, when you execute this command, it will display the contents of the file named ${filename} on the terminal, starting from the line number specified by ${line_number}.
