lessmsg

# This is the default lessmsg file for less.
# Messages defined in this file are compiled into the less executable.
# This file can also be used as a template for creating a custom lessmsg file.

# This file defines a list of mappings from a symbol name to a message string.
# Each line in the file contains the symbol name, followed by one or more
# ASCII spaces, followed by the message string.
# To include a literal double-quote character in the message string, use
# the C-style escape sequence \". Similarly, use \\ to include a literal
# backslash, \n for newline, \r for carriage return, and \t for tab.
# You can also use \xDD where DD is a hexadecimal number, or \DDD where DDD
# is an octal number, to encode a character using its ASCII value.
# Non-ASCII characters should be encoded as UTF-8 bytes.
# A backslash at the end of a line indicates continuation onto the next line.
# The backslash and following newline are removed from the line.
# (Continuation lines work only in custom lessmsg files, not in the lessmsg
# file which is compiled into less.)

# Any spaces at the end of a line are significant, and will be included
# in the message string. To make it easier to see that such trailing
# spaces are present, you may wish to encode them as \40 or \x20.
# Any printf-style format specifiers in a string (%s, %d, %x, etc) should be
# retained in the new message. Do not remove such specifiers or add new ones.

# To use a custom lessmsg file, copy this file and modify any messages desired,
# then set your LESSMSG environment variable to the name of the file.
# In each modified line, you should leave the symbol name unchanged, and
# modify only the message string.
# The default value of each symbol is built into less, so you can simply
# delete any lines that you do not wish to modify, and less will use the
# default value.

# The help file can be overridden with the "HELP" symbol.
# Normally this will be a multi-line string, so it is convenient to define
# it here as a list of lines, each ending with a newline and backslash to
# continue the message on the next line.  The last line should not have a
# final backslash.
#
# Example (remove initial ## from each line):
#
##HELP \
##First line of example help file.\n\
##Second line of help file.\n\
##Last line of help file.\n
