osx - Why does Ruby's ri not return to a bash command prompt? -
when execute ri ... in terminal on mac, get, maybe, 50 blank lines, output i'm expecting, last line:
(end)
, (end) displayed white letters on black background. not returned bash, -- ri still running, , can't enter anything. also, why blank lines?
why happening?
the output being piped through pager (the value of environment variable $pager
, /usr/bin/more
or /usr/bin/less
). allows page through screenfuls of data hitting spacebar (among other nice features), instead of having scroll , down in terminal. exit, type q.
