Most Linux +distributions come already with a \"lesspipe.sh\" that covers the most +common situations. +The input filter for less described here is called +\"lesspipe.sh\". It is able to process a wide variety of file +formats. It enables users to deeply inspect archives and to display +the contents of files in archives without having to unpack them +before. That means file contents can be properly interpreted even if +the files are compressed and contained in a hierarchy of +archives (often found in RPM or DEB archives containing source +tarballs). The filter is easily extensible for new formats.") + (license gpl2))) -- 2.26.2
