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.
