Redhat has a shell-script called /usr/bin/zless: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
#!/bin/sh |
| 4 |
/bin/zcat "$@" | /usr/bin/less |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
(zcat is hard-linked to gzip and gunzip) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
/usr/bin/zmore also exists and is the same but has a much more |
| 9 |
complicated shell script. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
It sets some terminal options and stuff. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
