# $Id: Portfile 35949 2008-04-11 03:25:04Z raimue macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: less
Version: 418
Category: textproc
Maintainers: raimue openmaintainer
Description: Less is a program similar to more, which allows backward movement.
Long Description: Less is a program similar to more, 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. Less uses termcap (or terminfo on some systems), so it can run on a variety of terminals. There is even limited support for hardcopy terminals.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/less
%  sudo port install less  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching less
--->  Verifying checksum for less
--->  Extracting less
--->  Configuring less
--->  Building less with target all

--->  Staging less into destroot

--->  Installing less

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using less with these commands:

%  man less
%  apropos less
%  which less
%  locate less
