| Oof, sorry you had such a bad experience. > but there is no obvious way to exit. I tried Q,q It's not very responsive during initial indexing, which is something I need to improve. Pressing `q` should work to exit in general, though. Pressing CTRL-C three times in quick succession will force quit it. It would help to know which version you tried. Things have gotten better over the years. > I tried `man lnav` in separate terminal - but no man page is provided. A man page exists, but only contains basic information. The builtin help text is much more extensive and can be viewed by running: lnav -H
There is also the documentation website: https://docs.lnav.org/> `ps` shows 3 processes which would not die with SIGTERM, have to `kill -9`. Older versions of lnav would use readline for the prompt and had to run it in a separate process because of "reasons". More recent versions have a custom prompt and don't require the extra processes. |
