Whenever apt show lib typed then followed by tab button twice, the following possibilities will be displayed.
user@linux:~$ apt show lib
Display all 24553 possibilities? (y or n)
lib32asan0 libisccfg-export160
lib32asan0-dbg libisc-export160
lib32asan2 libisc-export169
*... output truncated ...*
lib32asan5-dbg-ppc64-cross libisofs-dev
lib32asan5-dbg-s390x-cross libisofs-doc
lib32asan5-dbg-sparc64-cross libisoparser-java
--More--There are over 20k possibilities, so there is --More-- option at the end of the page.
Would it be possible to print all these 20k output in a single screen so that I can grep the result or redirect it to a file without hitting spacebar button many times?

Use this command instead
apt-cache search [package name]
Here use apt-cache search lib
This shows all the lib packages without the need of hitting space
Hope that helps :)
