The difference between more and cat on linux

In Linux systems, ​more​ and ​cat​ are both commands used to display the contents of text files, but there are some differences between them.

The ​​cat​ command (concatenate) is usually used to display the contents of a file in its original form, and will output the contents of the entire file to the terminal at once. For example:

cat filename

 This will display the contents of the entire file on the terminal.

The and ​more​ commands are used to display the file content page by page. For example, when you are viewing a long file, you can use the ​more command to display only one page at a time. Press the space bar to display the next page. Press ​q​key to exit. For example:

more filename

 Since ​more​provides the function of displaying page by page, it can usually handle large files better and also supports page forward operation.
