This version of less comes with some Gentoo enhancements:
- default lesspipe.sh script to "view" files
- colorization support
To see what file types are supported, just read the /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh
script (it's just a plain text bash script).
Colorization support is disabled by default. To enable it, export the
LESSCOLOR variable to "yes":
$ export LESSCOLOR=yes
We also provide a colorization script, 'code2color', that is used by
default. If you wish to use another script, simply export the LESSCOLORIZER
variable to name of the script:
$ export LESSCOLORIZER=some-other-script
If you want to use the code2color script and the default color schemes are
not acceptable, you can develop your own schemes and save them in one of
the following places:
/etc/code2color
~/.code2color
CODE2COLOR_CONFIG env var
