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
|
|
|
|
|
faster than text editors like vi (1).
