'''browse command output with an external pager

To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable::

  [pager]
  pager = less -FRSX

If no pager is set, the pager extensions uses the environment variable
$PAGER. If neither pager.pager, nor $PAGER is set, no pager is used.

If you notice "BROKEN PIPE" error messages, you can disable them by
setting::

  [pager]
  quiet = True

You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
pager.ignore list::

  [pager]
  ignore = version, help, update

You can also enable the pager only for certain commands using
pager.attend. Below is the default list of commands to be paged::

  [pager]
  attend = annotate, cat, diff, export, glog, log, qdiff

Setting pager.attend to an empty value will cause all commands to be
paged.

If pager.attend is present, pager.ignore will be ignored.

To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have
to specify them in your user configuration file.

The --pager=... option can also be used to control when the pager is
used. Use a boolean value like yes, no, on, off, or use auto for
normal behavior.
