  Less (Unix) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The correct title of this article is less.
The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.
less is a program on Unix and Unix-like systems used to view (but not change) the contents of a text file one screen at a time.

 Unix man pages: less (1)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
For example, to avoid typing "less -options..." each time less is invoked, you might tell csh: setenv LESS "-options" or if you use sh: LESS="-options"; export LESS On MS-DOS, you don't need the quotes, but you should replace any percent signs in the options string by double percent signs.
Warning: when the -r option is used, less cannot keep track of the actual appearance of the screen (since this depends on how the screen responds to each type of control character).
Before less opens a file, it first gives your input preprocessor a chance to modify the way the contents of the file are displayed.

 LESS
Less needs to keep track of where the cursor is on the screen as it displays text, so that it knows when it reaches the end of the line.
Since less uses the shell to invoke the LESSOPEN filter, the output from the shell will appear at the beginning of the output from the filter program, causing it to appear to be part of the file.
Less does not provide any default preprocessing, because the types of compressed files likely to be viewed depends on the work habits of the particular user.

 less
Less is a program similar to more (1), but which allows backward move- ment in the file as well as forward movement.
For example, to avoid typing "less -options..." each time less is invoked, you might tell csh: setenv LESS "-options" or if you use sh: LESS="-options"; export LESS On MS-DOS, you don't need the quotes, but you should replace any per- cent signs in the options string by double percent signs.
LESS- BINFMT may begin with a "*" and one character to select the display attribute: "*k" is blinking, "*d" is bold, "*u" is underlined, "*s" is standout, and "*n" is normal.

 Information about the Linux / UNIX less command.
Causes less to automatically exit if the entire file can be displayed on the first screen.
Causes less to copy its input to the named file as it is being viewed.
The -p option on the command line is equivalent to specifying +/pattern; that is, it tells less to start at the first occurrence of pattern in the file.

 Apple - Mac OS X - UNIX   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Beneath the surface of Mac OS X lies an industrial-strength UNIX foundation hard at work to ensure that your computing experience remains free of system crashes and compromised performance.
UNIX users will feel at home in Darwin, the robust BSD environment that underlies Mac OS X. That environment is accessible at any time from the Terminal application.
All of the standard UNIX utilities and scripting languages are included in Mac OS X: editors such as emacs, vim and even ed; file management tools such as cp, mv, ls and tar; shell scripts including bash (the default shell), tcsh (csh) and zsh.

If you have changed your line-kill char- acter in Unix to something other than ^U, that character is used instead of ^U. You may define your own less commands by using the program lesskey (1) to create a lesskey file.
It means less is friendly to a terminal and a terminal emu- lator.

 UNIX man pages : less ()
Less is a program similar to more (1), but which allows backward movement in the file as well as forward movement.
Also, less does not have to read the entire input file before starting, so with large input files it starts up fas- ter than text editors like vi (1).
Otherwise, less looks in a standard place for the system-wide lesskey file: On Unix systems, the system-wide lesskey file is /usr/bin/.sysless.

Normally, an interrupt character causes less to stop whatever it is doing and return to its command prompt.
In this case, the replacement file name passed to the LESS- CLOSE postprocessor is "-".

 Unix and Linux commands, information and help
Unix, which is not an acronym, was developed by some of the members of the Multics team at the bell labs starting in the late 1960's by many of the same people who helped create the C programming language.
The UNIX today, however, is the not just the work of a couple of programmers.

 Preface to THE UNIX-HATERS HANDBOOK
Unix programs (such as the Sun window system) are stripped as a matter of course, because all the debugging information takes up disk space and slows down the booting process.
Unix applications cannot be patched either; you must have the source so you can patch THAT, and then regenerate the application from the source.
You may have deleted important files and gone for help, only to be told that it was your own fault, or, worse, a "rite of passage." You may have spent hours writing a heart-wrenching letter to a friend, only to have it lost in a mailer burp, or, worse, have it sent to somebody else.

UNIX is not just an operating system, it is a way of doing things, and the shell plays a key role by providing the glue that makes it work.
Unix has an impressive array of command line utilities that glues with pipes constitute a powerful file processing language.
The main innovation of Unix was that these commands were able to communicate via pipes, the first component architecture in existence.

You can make less think that characters other than "m" can end ANSI color escape sequences by setting the environment variable LESSANSIENDCHARS to the list of char- acters which can end a color escape sequence.
An input preprocessor is simply an executable program (or shell script), which writes the con- tents of the file to a different file, called the replacement file.

As you know "less" and "more" both allow you to view a file, however "less" has some advantages.
The main advantage of using "less" is that you can reverse scroll through a file and you don't need to wait for "less" to load the whole file into memory before you can start to view it.
