A.1.2. Paging
| command
Run the debugger command, and pipe the debugger output through the current pager.
|| command
Run the debugger command, and pipe the program output through the current pager.
A.1.3. Command History

Run the command number n (default: previous command) or the last command that started with pattern. If n is negative, it is the nth command before the current one. The character can be changed from ! using the recallCommand option (discussed later).
