Less is a pager program more advanced than more(1). Its features include
|
|
backward movement, searching and highlighting, multiple files, bold and
|
|
underlining, key bindings (using lesskey(1)), customized tab stops,
|
|
filters for different file types, custom character sets, line numbering,
|
|
custom prompts, and many more.
|
|
|
|
Also, less does not have to read the entire input file before starting,
|
|
so with large input files it starts up faster than text editors like
|
|
vi(1).
|
|
|
|
This package also includes the lessecho command which can expand
|
|
metacharacters, such as * and ?, in filenames.

This version of less was written by and is maintained by Mark Nudelman.
