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