less

The executable less is 170k!!! Isn’t it a tad too big :wink:


We just wanted to add the capability to add xxx | more capability
in and embedded stuff… I ended up putting elvis which is 96k.

Take a look on /usr/free – there is a port of gnu less avaiable that
looks to be about 62K

It is in:

/usr/free/qnx4/os/utils/misc/less-237.tgz

And, since it comes with source, you could probably strip it down
to an even smaller pager utility if you don’t need all the capabilities
it has.

P.S. I think the 170K is too big as well. That looks like an oops of
some sort, don’t know what. My first guess was a missed wstrip, but
that wasn’t it. Earlier versions were around 80k, as appears to be a
more recent internal compile.
