Parsing output with long lines using less
Output from commands that generate very long lines (e.g. tables produced by docker
or kubectl
) can be hard to parse when lines are wrapped. We can pipe their output to less
using the -S
or --chop-long-lines
flag to have the lines be truncated instead of wrapped. The arrow keys can be used to view parts of lines that don't fit on the screen.
