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).

This enhanced less support ISO 2022 code extension techniqes and Japanese
codes(EUC Japanese, SJIS) and compressed(or gzipped) file viewing. The
