most: Open a file at the first occurrence of "string".
$ most ${filename} +/${string}
try on your machine

This command is using the "most" command to display the contents of a file named ${filename} on the command line. The +/${string} part is an option for the most command, which tells it to find and highlight the first occurrence of ${string} in the file and start displaying the content from that point.

To break it down further:

  • ${filename} is a placeholder representing the name of the file you want to display. You need to replace ${filename} with the actual name of the file when using this command.
  • ${string} is another placeholder representing the specific string you want to search for in the file. Again, you need to replace ${string} with the actual string you want to search for.

Overall, this command is used to display the contents of a file, starting from the first occurrence of a specific string.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
