Summary

0003704: more doesn't work due to /dev/tty

Description

I am using busybox 1.6.1.

On some embeded system, there might be no /dev/tty. But more applet must open /dev/tty, otherwise it just does a "cat". Why don't just let more to getc() from stdin? That's will make more works everywhere.

Notes
(0008174) vda 06-13-08 03:04	Because of "cmd \| more" case. getc() from stdin will eat cmd's input, NOT your keyboard input. Imagine how it will work in this case...

(0008444) vda 06-22-08 09:21	I think current behavior is ok.
