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.
kubectl get pods -o wide | less -S
Source: man less
