9<para>The less program is a file pager (or text viewer). It
10displays the contents of a file with the ability to scroll. Less is an
11improvement on the common pager called <quote>more</quote>. Less has
12the ability to scroll backwards through files as well and it doesn't need
13to read the entire file when it starts, which makes it faster when reading
14large files.</para></sect4>
