pg displays text files one page at a time, similar to more and less. It allows backward and forward navigation through files and supports searching within the displayed content.
The pager accepts various commands at its prompt: pressing Enter advances one line, space advances one page, and search patterns can be entered with slash notation.

Less feature-rich than modern pagers like less. Not installed by default on many systems. Primarily useful for compatibility with older scripts and workflows.

pg is an older Unix pager that predates more and less. It was originally developed for System V Unix. While largely superseded by more capable pagers, it remains available in util-linux for compatibility.
