| Description: |
lesspipe.sh is an input filter for the pager less. 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. The input filter is a bash script, but
works as well as a zsh script. For zsh and bash tab completion mechanisms
for archive contents are provided. |
