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). Less uses termcap (or
terminfo on some systems), 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 a caret.)
Commands are based on both more and vi.
