Sometimes a #command output floods your screen so heavy that you can't even scroll up in your #terminal to see the first output. In this case you can pipe the output to "more" or "less" for better overview.

$~ cat /proc/cpuinfo | more
$~ cat /proc/cpuinfo | less

You can quit more with the shortcut CTRL+C and less by just typing "q"
