Introduction
In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the less
command in Linux to efficiently navigate and analyze large log files. The less
command is a powerful tool for viewing text files in the terminal, allowing users to scroll through content, search for specific information, and view file contents page by page.
Imagine you are a system administrator tasked with investigating a series of server errors. You have access to a large log file containing information about system events, but the file is too big to open in a regular text editor. This is where the less
command becomes invaluable.
