       Less is a program similar to more (1), 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 (1). 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. (On a hardcopy terminal, lines which should be
       printed at the top of the screen are prefixed with a
       caret.)

       Commands are based on both more and vi. Commands may be
       preceded by a decimal number, called N in the descriptions
       below. The number is used by some commands, as indicated.

       ...

ipkg install less
