<para>The less program is a file pager (or text viewer). It
displays the contents of a file with the ability to scroll. Less is an
improvement on the common pager called <quote>more</quote>. Less has
the ability to scroll backwards through files as well and it doesn't need
to read the entire file when it starts, which makes it faster when reading
large files.</para></sect4>
