How do you quit out of a man page in Terminal Mac?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

To quit out of a man page in Terminal Mac, you need to press the q key on your keyboard. A man page is a manual page that shows the usage and syntax of a command or a program. The man command uses a pager program to display the man page on the screen. A pager program is a program that lets you view a text file one page at a time, or scroll up and down. The default pager program for the man command is less, which is a more advanced version of the more program. The q key is the command to quit the less program and return to the shell prompt. The other options, less, clear, and esc, are not valid ways to quit out of a man page in Terminal Mac. Less is the name of the pager program, not a command. Clear is a command to clear the screen, not to quit the pager program.Esc is a key to escape from certain modes or commands, not to quit the pager program.Reference:1How to Exit the MAN Command and Quit Man Pages Properly - OS X Daily2How to escape out of the MAN screen or page in UNIX?- Stack Overflow3How to use the command manual in Terminal | Macworld4How to Quit the MAN Command and Exit Man Pages Properly - Bollyinside

C) q is the answer, but you know what would be even better? A 'quit and buy me a coffee' option. Now that's a feature I can get behind!

Quitting the man page? Easy peasy! Just hit the ol' 'q' and you're good to go. No need to overthink it.

A) less? What is this, the Stone Age? I want a quick and easy way out, not a whole new set of commands to learn.

D) esc? Really? That's like trying to quit a video game by turning off the TV. C'mon, people!
