I thought the option would make it appear all
in one page (i.e. one Emacs buffer), as the
man(1) pager (/usr/bin/man) does with that
option in the shell for Unix users.

Does Emacs invoke an external pager or does it
happen in-house? If so (in-house), what
switches are supported? If not, what pager
is used?
