customer reported the issue that Length of “help” command output is truncated after “more” prompt. Not able to see output below “more” unless window size is changed.
Looks like confD-limitation. Can you someone can explain in details.
You can ask the customer to press ‘h’ at the ‘more’ prompt to get the available options in detail.
