11<para>The less program is a file pager (or text viewer). It
12displays the contents of a file and has the ability to scroll. Less is an
13improvement on the common pager called <quote>more</quote>. Less has
14the ability to scroll backwards through files as well and it doesn't need
15to read the entire file when it starts, which makes it faster when reading
16large files.</para></sect4>
