Many utilities display a help message that is so long it scrolls off the screen. In this case you can use a pipeline (covered in a later lab; Sobell, page 60) and a pager such as less (Sobell, page 34, and the bottom of Sobell, page 38) to display one screen of information at a time. Call the cp utility, specifying the ––help option and sending the output through a pipeline to less.
