Vis repeatedly executes a specified command and refreshes the display
of its output on the screen.  This has the effect of making any
normally non-screen oriented command into a screen oriented one.

The first line on the output screen is reserved for vis status and will
contain the command on the left side with the current execution count
on the right side.  If command is too long to fit, vis will truncate it
in the status line and append an ellipsis ("...").

The output of the command normally begins on the third line and
continues to the end of the screen.  Lines which can not fit will be
discarded.  When this occurs, vis will automatically place the output
of following passes starting on line two in order to maximize the
amount of displayed information.

See the manual page for a complete information.
