The less program is a file pager (or text viewer). It displays the
|
||
|
|
contents
|
||
|
|
of a file with the ability to scroll. Less is an improvement on the
|
||
|
|
common
|
||
|
|
pager called <quote>more</quote>. Less has the ability to scroll
|
||
|
|
backwards
|
||
|
|
through files as well and it doesn't need to read the entire file when
|
||
|
|
it
|
||
|
|
starts, which makes it faster when you are reading large files.
