|
<para>The less program is a file pager (or text viewer). It
|
|
displays the contents of a file and has 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 reading
|
|
large files.</para></sect4>
