more - Control the Text Displayed at Once
When using commands like dir or tree, if the target directory contains a large number of files or folders, the amount of text displayed at once can be overwhelming and may exceed the screen’s viewable area.
For example, if you run the tree command on a directory with a large hierarchy, it can be difficult to see the entire output as it may exceed the screen’s viewable area.
