Less is a pager, like more or pg, except that it has more features

them like vi and company.

# Remove anything before this line, then unpack it
# by saving it into a file and typing "sh file".

X _L_e_s_s is a program similar to _m_o_r_e (1), but which allows
X backwards movement in the file as well as forward movement.
X Also, _l_e_s_s does not have to read the entire input file
X before starting, so with large input files it starts up
X faster than text editors like _v_i (1). _L_e_s_s uses termcap (or
X terminfo on some systems), so it can run on a variety of
X terminals. There is even limited support for hardcopy
X terminals. (On a hardcopy terminal, lines which should be
X printed at the top of the screen are prefixed with an up-
X arrow.)
X
X Commands are based on both _m_o_r_e and _v_i. Commands may be
X preceeded by a decimal number, called N in the descriptions
X below. The number is used by some commands, as indicated.
X
X
X CCCCOOOOMMMMMMMMAAAANNNNDDDDSSSS
X In the following descriptions, ^X means control-X. ESC
X stands for the ESCAPE key; for example ESC-v means the two
X character sequence "ESCAPE", then "v".
X
X H Help: display a summary of these commands. If you
X forget all the other commands, remember this one.
X
X SPACE or f or ^F or ^V
X Scroll forward N lines, default one window (see option
X -z below). If N is more than the screen size, only the
X final screenful is displayed. Warning: some systems
X use ^V as a special literalization character.
X
X b or ^B or ESC-v
X Scroll backward N lines, default one window (see option
X -z below). If N is more than the screen size, only the
X final screenful is displayed.
X
X RETURN or ^N or e or ^E or j or ^J
X Scroll forward N lines, default 1. The entire N lines
X are displayed, even if N is more than the screen size.
X

X r or ^R or ^L
X Repaint the screen.
X
X R Repaint the screen, discarding any buffered input.
X Useful if the file is changing while it is being

X
X g or < or ESC-<
X Go to line N in the file, default 1 (beginning of
X file). (Warning: this may be slow if N is large.)
X
X G or > or ESC->
X Go to line N in the file, default the end of the file.
X (Warning: this may be slow if N is large, or if N is
X not specified and standard input, rather than a file,

X
X p or %
X Go to a position N percent into the file. N should be
X between 0 and 100. (This works if standard input is
X being read, but only if _l_e_s_s has already read to the
X end of the file. It is always fast, but not always
X useful.)
X
X m Followed by any lowercase letter, marks the current
X position with that letter.

X
X n Repeat previous search, for N-th line containing the
X last pattern (or NOT containing the last pattern, if
X the previous search was /! or ?!).
X
X E [filename]
X Examine a new file. If the filename is missing, the
X "current" file (see the N and P commands below) from
X the list of files in the command line is re-examined.
X If the filename is a pound sign (#), the previously
X examined file is re-examined.
X
X ^X^V or :e
X Same as E. Warning: some systems use ^V as a special
X literalization character.
X
X N or :n
X Examine the next file (from the list of files given in
X the command line). If a number N is specified (not to
X be confused with the command N), the N-th next file is
X examined.
X
X P or :p
X Examine the previous file. If a number N is specified,
X the N-th previous file is examined.
X
X = or ^G
X Prints some information about the file being viewed,
X including its name and the line number and byte offset
X of the bottom line being displayed. If possible, it
X also prints the length of the file and the percent of

X _ (Underscore.) Followed by one of the command line
X option letters (see below), this will print a message
X describing the current setting of that option. The
X setting of the option is not changed.
X
X +cmd Causes the specified cmd to be executed each time a new
X file is examined. For example, +G causes _l_e_s_s to
X initially display each file starting at the end rather
X than the beginning.
X
X V Prints the version number of _l_e_s_s being run.
X
X q or :q or ZZ
X Exits _l_e_s_s.
X
X The following two commands may or may not be valid,
X depending on your particular installation.
X
X v Invokes an editor to edit the current file being
X viewed. The editor is taken from the environment
X variable EDITOR, or defaults to "vi".
X
X ! shell-command
X Invokes a shell to run the shell-command given. A
X percent sign in the command is replaced by the name of
X the current file. "!!" repeats the last shell command.
X "!" with no shell command simply invokes a shell. In
X all cases, the shell is taken from the environment
X variable SHELL, or defaults to "sh".
X
X OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
X Command line options are described below. Most options may
X be changed while _l_e_s_s is running, via the "-" command.
X
X Options are also taken from the environment variable "LESS".
X For example, to avoid typing "less -options ..." each time
X _l_e_s_s is invoked, you might tell _c_s_h:
X
X setenv LESS "-options"
X
X or if you use _s_h:
X
X LESS="-options"; export LESS
X
X The environment variable is parsed before the command line,
X so command line options override the LESS environment
X variable. If an option appears in the LESS variable, it can
X be reset to its default on the command line by beginning the
X command line option with "-+".

X
X
X
X A dollar sign ($) may be used to signal the end of an option
X string. This is important only for options like -P which
X take a following string.
X
X -a Normally, forward searches start just after the top
X displayed line (that is, at the second displayed line).
X Thus, forward searches include the currently displayed
X screen. The -a option causes forward searches to start
X just after the bottom line displayed, thus skipping the
X currently displayed screen.
X
X -A The -A option causes searches to start at the second
X SCREEN line displayed, as opposed to the default which
X is to start at the second REAL line displayed. For
X example, suppose a long real line occupies the first
X three screen lines. The default search will start at
X the second real line (the fourth screen line), while
X the -A option will cause the search to start at the
X second screen line (in the midst of the first real
X line). (This option is rarely useful.)
X
X -b The -b_n option tells _l_e_s_s to use a non-standard number
X of buffers. Buffers are 1K, and normally 10 buffers
X are used (except if data in coming from standard input;
X see the -B option). The number _n specifies a different
X number of buffers to use.
X
X -B Normally, when data is coming from standard input,
X buffers are allocated automatically as needed, to avoid
X loss of data. The -B option disables this feature, so
X that only the default number of buffers are used. If
X more data is read than will fit in the buffers, the
X oldest data is discarded.
X
X -c Normally, _l_e_s_s will repaint the screen by scrolling
X from the bottom of the screen. If the -c option is
X set, when _l_e_s_s needs to change the entire display, it
X will paint from the top line down.
X
X -C The -C option is like -c, but the screen is cleared
X before it is repainted.
X
X -d Normally, _l_e_s_s will complain if the terminal is dumb;
X that is, lacks some important capability, such as the
X ability to clear the screen or scroll backwards. The
X -d option suppresses this complaint (but does not
X otherwise change the behavior of the program on a dumb
X terminal).
X
X -e Normally the only way to exit less is via the "q"
X command. The -e option tells less to automatically
X exit the second time it reaches end-of-file.

X
X
X LLLLEEEESSSSSSSS((((1111)))) UUUUNNNNIIIIXXXX 5555....0000 LLLLEEEESSSSSSSS((((1111))))
X
X
X
X -E The -E flag causes less to exit the first time it
X reaches end-of-file.
X
X -h Normally, _l_e_s_s will scroll backwards when backwards
X movement is necessary. The -h option specifies a
X maximum number of lines to scroll backwards. If it is
X necessary to move backwards more than this many lines,
X the screen is repainted in a forward direction. (If
X the terminal does not have the ability to scroll
X backwards, -h0 is implied.)
X
X -i The -i option causes searches to ignore case; that is,
X uppercase and lowercase are considered identical.
X Also, text which is overstruck or underlined can be
X searched for.
X
X -l The -l option, followed immediately by a filename, will
X cause _l_e_s_s to copy its input to the named file as it is
X being viewed. This applies only when the input file is
X a pipe, not an ordinary file. If the file already
X exists, less will ask for confirmation before
X overwriting it.
X
X -L The -L option is like -l, but it will overwrite an
X existing file without asking for confirmation.
X
X If no log file has been specified, the -l and -L
X options can be used from within less to specify a log
X file. Without a file name, they will simply report the
X name of the log file.
X
X -m Normally, _l_e_s_s prompts with a colon. The -m option
X causes _l_e_s_s to prompt verbosely (like _m_o_r_e), with the
X percent into the file.
X
X -M The -M option causes _l_e_s_s to prompt even more verbosely
X than _m_o_r_e.
X
X -n The -n flag suppresses line numbers. The default (to
X use line numbers) may cause _l_e_s_s to run more slowly in
X some cases, especially with a very large input file.
X Suppressing line numbers with the -n flag will avoid
X this problem. Using line numbers means: the line
X number will be displayed in the verbose prompt and in
X the = command, and the v command will pass the current
X line number to the editor.
X
X -P The -P option provides a way to tailor the three prompt
X styles to your own preference. You would normally put
X this option in your LESS environment variable, rather
X than type it in with each less command. Such an option
X must either be the last option in the LESS variable, or

X
X
X
X be terminated by a dollar sign. -P followed by a
X string changes the default (short) prompt to that
X string. -Pm changes the medium (-m) prompt to the
X string, and -PM changes the long (-M) prompt. Also,
X -P= changes the message printed by the = command to the
X given string. All prompt strings consist of a sequence
X of letters and special escape sequences. See the
X section on PROMPTS for more details.
X
X -q Normally, if an attempt is made to scroll past the end
X of the file or before the beginning of the file, the
X terminal bell is rung to indicate this fact. The -q
X option tells _l_e_s_s not to ring the bell at such times.
X If the terminal has a "visual bell", it is used
X instead.
X
X -Q Even if -q is given, _l_e_s_s will ring the bell on certain
X other errors, such as typing an invalid character. The
X -Q option tells _l_e_s_s to be quiet all the time; that is,
X never ring the terminal bell. If the terminal has a
X "visual bell", it is used instead.
X
X -s The -s option causes consecutive blank lines to be
X squeezed into a single blank line. This is useful when
X viewing _n_r_o_f_f output.
X
X -t The -t option, followed immediately by a TAG, will edit
X the file containing that tag. For this to work, there
X must be a file called "tags" in the current directory,
X which was previously built by the _c_t_a_g_s (1) command.
X This option may also be specified from within less
X (using the - command) as a way of examining a new file.
X
X -u If the -u option is given, backspaces are treated as
X printable characters; that is, they are sent to the
X terminal when they appear in the input.
X
X -U If the -U option is given, backspaces are printed as
X the two character sequence "^H".
X
X If neither -u nor -U is given, backspaces which appear
X adjacent to an underscore character are treated
X specially: the underlined text is displayed using the
X terminal's hardware underlining capability. Also,
X backspaces which appear between two identical
X characters are treated specially: the overstruck text
X is printed using the terminal's hardware boldface
X capability. Other backspaces are deleted, along with
X the preceeding character.
X
X -w Normally, _l_e_s_s uses a tilde character to represent
X lines past the end of the file. The -w option causes

X
X
X
X blank lines to be used instead.
X
X -x The -x_n option sets tab stops every _n positions. The
X default for _n is 8.
X
X -[z] When given a backwards or forwards window command, _l_e_s_s
X will by default scroll backwards or forwards one
X screenful of lines. The -z_n option changes the default
X scrolling window size to _n lines. Note that the "z" is
X optional for compatibility with _m_o_r_e.
X
X + If a command line option begins with ++++, the remainder
X of that option is taken to be an initial command to
X _l_e_s_s. For example, +G tells _l_e_s_s to start at the end of
X the file rather than the beginning, and +/xyz tells it
X to start at the first occurence of "xyz" in the file.
X As a special case, +<number> acts like +<number>g; that
X is, it starts the display at the specified line number
X (however, see the caveat under the "g" command above).
X If the option starts with ++++++++, the initial command
X applies to every file being viewed, not just the first
X one. The + command described previously may also be
X used to set (or change) an initial command for every
X file.
X
X
X KKKKEEEEYYYY BBBBIIIINNNNDDDDIIIINNNNGGGGSSSS
X You may define your own less commands by using the program
X _l_e_s_s_k_e_y (1) to create a file called ".less" in your home
X directory. This file specifies a set of command keys and an
X action associated with each key. See the _l_e_s_s_k_e_y manual
X page for more details.
X
X
X PPPPRRRROOOOMMMMPPPPTTTTSSSS
X The -P option allows you to tailor the prompt to your
X preference. The string given to the -P option replaces the
X specified prompt string. Certain characters in the string
X are interpreted specially. The prompt mechanism is rather
X complicated to provide flexibility, but the ordinary user
X need not understand the details of constructing personalized
X prompt strings.
X
X A percent sign followed by a single character is expanded
X according to what the following character is:
X
X %bX Replaced by the byte offset into the current input
X file. The b is followed by a single character (shown
X as X above) which specifies the line whose byte offset
X is to be used. If the character is a "t", the byte
X offset of the top line in the display is used, an "m"
X means use the middle line, a "b" means use the bottom

X
X
X
X line, and a "B" means use the line just after the
X bottom line.
X
X %f Replaced by the name of the current input file.
X
X %i Replaced by the index of the current file in the list
X of input files.
X
X %lX Replaced by the line number of a line in the input
X file. The line to be used is determined by the X, as
X with the %b option.
X
X %m Replaced by the total number of input files.
X
X %pX Replaced by the percent into the current input file.
X The line used is determined by the X as with the %b
X option.
X
X %s Replaced by the size of the current input file.
X
X %t Causes any trailing spaces to be removed. Usually used
X at the end of the string, but may appear anywhere.
X
X %x Replaced by the name of the next input file in the
X list.
X
X If any item is unknown (for example, the file size if input
X is a pipe), a question mark is printed instead.
X
X The format of the prompt string can be changed depending on
X certain conditions. A question mark followed by a single
X character acts like an "IF": depending on the following
X character, a condition is evaluated. If the condition is
X true, any characters following the question mark and
X condition character, up to a period, are included in the
X prompt. If the condition is false, such characters are not
X included. A colon appearing between the question mark and
X the period can be used to establish an "ELSE": any
X characters between the colon and the period are included in
X the string if and only if the IF condition is false.
X Condition characters (which follow a question mark) may be:
X
X ?a True if any characters have been included in the prompt
X so far.
X
X ?bX True if the byte offset of the specified line is known.
X
X ?e True if at end-of-file.
X
X ?f True if there is an input filename (that is, if input
X is not a pipe).

X ?lX True if the line number of the specified line is known.
X
X ?m True if there is more than one input file.
X
X ?n True if this is the first prompt in a new input file.
X
X ?pX True if the percent into the current input file of the
X specified line is known.
X
X ?s True if the size of current input file is known.
X
X ?x True if there is a next input file (that is, if the
X current input file is not the last one).
X
X Any characters other than the special ones (question mark,
X colon, period, percent, and backslash) become literally part
X of the prompt. Any of the special characters may be
X included in the prompt literally by preceeding it with a
X backslash.
X
X Some examples:
X
X ?f%f:Standard input.
X
X This prompt prints the filename, if known; otherwise the
X string "Standard input".
X
X ?f%f .?ltLine %lt:?pt%pt:?btByte %bt:-...
X
X This prompt would print the filename, if known. The
X filename is followed by the line number, if known, otherwise
X the percent if known, otherwise the byte offset if known.
X Otherwise, a dash is printed. Notice how each question mark
X has a matching period, and how the % after the %pt is
X included literally by escaping it with a backslash.
X
X ?n?f%f .?m(file %i of %m) ..?e(END) ?x- Next\: %x..%t
X
X This prints the filename if this is the first prompt in a
X file, followed by the "file N of N" message if there is more
X than one input file. Then, if we are at end-of-file, the
X string "(END)" is printed followed by the name of the next
X file, if there is one. Finally, any trailing spaces are
X truncated. This is the default prompt. For reference, here
X are the defaults for the other two prompts (-m and -M
X respectively). Each is broken into two lines here for
X readability only.
X
X ?n?f%f .?m(file %i of %m) ..?e(END) ?x- Next\: %x.:
X ?pB%pB\%:byte %bB?s/%s...%t
X
X ?f%f .?n?m(file %i of %m) ..?ltline %lt :byte %bB?s/%s ..

XThis is the distribution of "less", a paginator similar to "more" or "pg".
XThe manual page is in less.man (nroff source in less.nro).
X
XINSTALLATION:
X
X1. Move the distributed source to its own directory and
X unpack it by running "sh" on the distribution files,
X if you have not already done so.
X
X2. Type "sh linstall" and answer the questions it asks.
X This will generate a makefile and a defines.h.
X
X If you choose not to include some features in your version,
X you may wish to edit the manual page "less.nro" and the help
X page "less.help" to remove the references to the appropriate
X commands or options.
X
X3. It is a good idea to look over the generated makefile
X and make sure it looks ok.
X
X4. Type "make" and watch the fun.
X
X5. If the make succeeds, it will generate a program "less"
X in your current directory. Test the generated program.
X
X6. When satisfied that it works, if you wish to install it
X in a public place, type "make install".
X
XIf you have any problems building or running "less",
Xsuggestions, complaints, etc., you may mail to the
Xauthor via USENET at:
X sun \
X decwrl } !pyramid!ctnews!UNIX386!mark
X hplabs /
X
X
XNote to hackers: comments noting possible improvements are enclosed
Xin double curly brackets {{ like this }}.
