Z:gnu-man-db-manpages--657c12-It is broken into three lines/en

It is broken into three lines here for the sake of readability only. For its meaning see the B (1) manual page. The prompt string is first evaluated by the shell. All double quotes, back-quotes and backslashes in the prompt must be escaped by a preceding backslash. The prompt string may end in an escaped $ which may be followed by further options for less. By default B<%man%> sets the B<-ix8> options.
