LINES [ number ]
Specifies the number of lines of output to display before pausing
so that an area of output does not scroll out of the terminal or
emulator display memory. A single line of output from noft can
result in multiple lines of output on a screen, so more lines than
are specified by number might be displayed.
The default value for number is 0 (zero). A zero value causes out-
put to continue until all results are displayed.

lines and output. If the file does not exist, noft creates
it.

LOG flag is used on an OSS shell command line, the
flag specification must be enclosed in quotation marks
when the ? specifier is used.
