Hans-G?nter@25549 1 lesspipe.sh is an input filter for the pager less.
Hans-G?nter@25549 2 It is able to process a wide variety of file formats.
Hans-G?nter@25549 3 It enables users to deeply inspect archives and to
Hans-G?nter@25549 4 display the contents of files in archives without
Hans-G?nter@25549 5 having to unpack them before. That means file contents
Hans-G?nter@25549 6 can be properly interpreted even if the files are
Hans-G?nter@25549 7 compressed and contained in a hierarchy of archives
Hans-G?nter@25549 8 (often found in RPM or DEB archives containing source
Hans-G?nter@25549 9 tarballs).
Hans-G?nter@25549 10 The filter is easily extensible for new formats.
Hans-G?nter@25549 11 The input filter is a bash script, but works as well
Hans-G?nter@25549 12 as a zsh script.
