This is a new version of the program "less" which I posted
about a month ago. It is a pagination program similar to
more or pg. This distribution is in 2 parts to avoid
truncation problems in transmission; this is part 1.
This version has some bug fixes and some new features.
The major new feature is better handling of underlines
and backspaces. It should also be somewhat more portable;
in particular, I think all symbols are now unique in 6
characters (yuch).
To install, delete everything down to the cut line below,
put the file in an empty directory, and run sh on the file.
Then read the file called INSTALLATION.
Problems, complaints, praise, bug fixes to the author.

This is the distribution of "less", a paginator similar to "more" or "pg".
The manual page is in less.l.
INSTALLATION:
1. Move the distributed source to its own directory and
unpack it by running "sh" on the distribution file,
if you have not already done so.
2. If your system is System V:
cp makefile.sys5 makefile
If your system is Berkeley 4.2bsd:
cp makefile.bsd42 makefile
If your system is Berkeley 4.1bsd:
cp makefile.bsd41 makefile
If your system is Xenix 3.0:
cp makefile.xen makefile
Otherwise, edit the makefile to make the
system parameters match your system.
There is one features which is selectable at compile time: shell escapes.
If you want to have shell escapes, edit the makefile appropriately.
3. Type "make" and watch the fun.
4. If the make succeeds, it will generate a program "less"
in your current directory. Test the generated program.
5. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
in a public place, edit the makefile so that INSTALL_LESS
and INSTALL_MAN are the proper filenames.
Then type "make install".
If you have any problems building or running "less",
you may mail to the author via USENET at:
...!tektronix!reed!nsc-pdc!mark
or ...!nsc!nsc-pdc!mark
Note to hackers: comments noting possible improvements are enclosed
in double curly brackets {{ like this }}.

.TH LESS l
.SH NAME
less \- opposite of more
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "less [-cdtmMqQuU] [-b[fp]\fIn\fB] [+\fIcommand\fB] [\fIname\fB] ..."
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Less
is a program similar to
.I more
(1), but which allows backwards movement
in the file as well as forward movement.
Also,
.I 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
.I vi
(1).
.I Less
uses termcap, so it can run on a variety of terminals.
There is even limited support for hardcopy terminals.
(On a hardcopy terminal, lines which should be printed at the top
of the screen are prefixed with an up-arrow.)
.PP
Commands are based on both
.I more
and
.I vi.
Commands may be preceeded by a decimal number,
called N in the descriptions below.
The number is used by some commands, as indicated.
.IP h
Help: display a summary of these commands.
If you forget all the other commands, remember this one.
.PP
.IP SPACE
Scroll forward one screen.
.PP
.IP f
Same as SPACE.
.PP
.IP b
Scroll backward one screen.
.PP
.IP RETURN
Scroll forward N lines, default 1.
.PP
.IP e
Same as RETURN.
.PP
.IP j
Also the same as RETURN.
.PP
.IP y
Scroll backward N lines, default 1.
.IP k
Same as y.
.PP
.IP d
Scroll forward N lines, default 10.
If N is specified, it becomes the new default for all d and u commands.
.PP
.IP u
Scroll backward N lines, default 10.
If N is specified, it becomes the new default for all d and u commands.
.PP
.IP r
Repaint the screen.
.PP
.IP R
Repaint the screen, discarding any buffered input.
Useful if the file is changing while it is being viewed.
.PP
.IP g
Go to line N in the file, default 1 (beginning of file).
(Warning: this may be slow if N is large.)
.PP
.IP G
Go to line N in the file, default the end of the file.
(Warning: this may be slow if standard input,
rather than a file, is being read.)
.PP
.IP p
Go to a position N percent into the file.
N should be between 0 and 100.
(This is possible only if a file, rather than standard input, is being read.
It is always fast, but not always useful.)
.PP
.IP /pattern
Search forward in the file for the N-th occurence of the pattern.
N defaults to 1.
The pattern is a regular expression, as recognized by
.I ed.
The search starts at the second line displayed
(but see the -t option, which changes this).
.PP
.IP ?pattern
Search backward in the file for the N-th occurence of the pattern.
The search starts at the line immediately before the top line displayed.
.PP
.IP n
Repeat previous search, for N-th occurence of the last pattern.
.PP
.IP E [filename]
Examine a new file.
If the filename is missing, the "current" file (see the N and P commands
below) from the list of files in the command line is re-examined.
.PP
.IP N
Examine the next file (from the list of files given in the command line).
If a number N is specified (not to be confused with the command N),
the N-th next file is examined.
.PP
.IP P
Examine the previous file.
If a number N is specified, the N-th previous file is examined.
.PP
.IP =
Prints the name of the file being viewed
and the byte offset of the bottom line being displayed.
If possible, it also prints the length of the file
and the percent of the file above the last displayed line.
.PP
.IP \-
Followed by one of the command line option letters (see below),
this will toggle the setting of that option
and print a message describing the new setting.
.PP
.IP v
Prints the version number of
.I less
being run.
.PP
.IP q
Exits
.I less.
.PP
Command line options are described below.
Options are also taken from the environment variable "LESS".
(The environment variable is parsed before the command line,
so command line options override the LESS environment variable.
Options may be changed while
.I less
is running via the "\-" command.)
For example, if you like
more-style prompting, to avoid typing "less -m ..." each time
.I less
is invoked, you might tell
.I csh:
.sp
setenv LESS m
.sp
or if you use
.I sh:
.sp
LESS=m; export LESS
.PP
Normally, forward searches start just after
the top displayed line (that is, at the second displayed line).
Thus forward searches include the currently displayed screen.
The -t command line option causes forward searches to start
just after the bottom line displayed,
thus skipping the currently displayed screen.
.PP
Normally,
.I less
prompts with a colon.
The -m command line option causes
.I less
to prompt verbosely like
.I more,
printing the file name and percent into the file.
.PP
The -M command line option causes
.I less
to prompt even more verbosely than
.I more.
.PP
Normally, if an attempt is made to scroll past the end of the file
or before the beginning of the file, the terminal bell is rung to
indicate this fact.
The -q command line option tells
.I less
not to ring the bell at such times.
If the terminal has a "visual bell", it is used instead.
.PP
Even if -q is given, less will ring the bell on certain other errors,
such as typing an invalid character.
The -Q command line option tells
.I less
to be quiet all the time; that is, never ring the terminal bell.
If the terminal has a "visual bell", it is used instead.
.PP
Normally, underlined text is displayed
using the terminal's hardware underlining capability.
If the terminal does not provide this, underlined text is
displayed in
reverse video, bold, or some other distinctive video attribute.
(Underlining, by the way, is defined as overstriking an underscore character.
One character overstrikes another if a backspace is between the two.)
Overstrikes other than underlines are displayed with real backspaces.
If the -u command line option is given,
underlining is treated as any other overstrike; no standout mode is used.
If the -U command line option is given,
backspaces are printed as the two character sequence "^H".
.PP
Normally,
.I less
will complain if the terminal is dumb; that is, lacks some important capability,
such as the ability to clear the screen or scroll backwards.
The -d flag suppresses this complaint
(but does not otherwise change the behavior of the program on a dumb terminal).
.PP
The -b\fIn\fR command line option tells
.I less
to use a non-standard buffer size.
There are two standard (default) buffer sizes,
one is used when a file is being read and the other
when a pipe (standard input) is being read.
The current defaults are 5 buffers for files and 12 for pipes.
(Buffers are 1024 bytes.)
The number \fIn\fR specifies a different number of buffers to use.
The -b may be followed by "f", in which case only
the file default is changed, or by "p" in which case only the
pipe default is changed. Otherwise, both are changed.
.PP
Normally, when data is read by
.I less,
it is scanned to ensure that bit 7 (the high order bit) is turned off in
each byte read, and to ensure that there are no null (zero) bytes in
the data (null bytes are turned into "@" characters).
If the data is known to be "clean",
the -c command line option will tell
.I less
to skip this checking.
(However, if the data is not "clean", unpredicatable results may occur.)
.PP
If a command line option begins with \fB+\fR,
the remainder of that option is taken to be an initial command to
.I less.
For example, +G tells
.I less
to start at the end of the file rather than the beginning,
and +/xyz tells it to start at the first occurence of "xyz" in the file.
As a special case, +<number> acts like +<number>g;
that is, it starts the display at the specified line number
(however, see the caveat under the "g" command above).
.SH BUGS
When used on standard input (rather than a file), you can move
backwards only a finite amount, corresponding to that portion
of the file which is still buffered.
.PP
Searches will not find a string which has been split due
to line folding.
.sp
Tabs in the input are translated into the appropriate number of spaces,
so a search pattern which includes a tab character will always fail.
Use the pattern "\ *" instead.
