-S or --chop-long-lines
Causes lines longer than the screen width to be chopped rather than folded. That is, the portion
of a long line that does not fit in the screen width is not shown. The default is to fold long
lines; that is, display the remainder on the next line.
|
-n or --line-numbers
Suppresses line numbers. The default (to use line numbers) may cause less to run more slowly in
some cases, especially with a very large input file. Suppressing line numbers with the -n option
will avoid this problem. Using line numbers means: the line number will be displayed in the
verbose prompt and in the = command, and the v command will pass the current line number to the
editor (see also the discussion of LESSEDIT in PROMPTS below).
|
-i or --ignore-case
Causes searches to ignore case; that is, uppercase and lowercase are considered identical. This
option is ignored if any uppercase letters appear in the search pattern; in other words, if a
pattern contains uppercase letters, then that search does not ignore case.
|
-F or --quit-if-one-screen
Causes less to automatically exit if the entire file can be displayed on the first screen.
|
-X or --no-init
Disables sending the termcap initialization and deinitialization strings to the terminal. This is
sometimes desirable if the deinitialization string does something unnecessary, like clearing the
screen.
