Description

Less is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time. Less allows backward movement in the file as well as forward movement. It is quite similar to *more*, which is installed on the device by default, but more user friendly and more powerful.

Packages

source: less

binary: less

Usage Examples

Very simply; to view the contents of a text file:

# less file.txt

Press space bar for next page.

Press b for previous page.

Press q to quit reading.
