lesspipe.sh Description

lesspipe.sh is an input filter for the pager less as described in less's man page. lesspipe.sh is an input filter for the pager less as described in less's man page. The script runs under a ksh-compatible shell (ksh, bash, zsh) and allows you to use less to view files with binary content, compressed files, archives, and files contained in archives.Viewing files by accessing a device file is implemented to some extent (DOS filesystems and tar files). It supports many formats (both as plain and compressed files using compress, gzip, bzip2, or zip). Syntax highlighting for many languages is available through a helper script, "code2color". What's New in This Release: · lesspipe does now check for helper applications at runtime. The configure script was enhanced to allow for tailoring the number of filters included in lesspipe.sh. As a configurable option the amount of filtering in lesspipe.sh can now be controlled by the ENV variable LESS_ADVANCED_PREPROCESSOR. Support for the xz compression method was added. The documentation has been cleaned up and minor bugs (mostly for MacOSX) have been corrected.
