+# The `less` command
+
+The less command is a Linux terminal pager which shows a file's content one screen at a time.
+Useful when dealing with a large text file because it doesn't load the entire file but accesses it page by page, resulting in fast loading speeds.
+## Syntax
+```
+less [options] file_path
+```
+
+## Options
+Some popular option flags include:
+```
+-E	less automatically exits upon reaching the end of file.
+-f	Forces less to open non-regular files (a directory or a device-special file).
+-F	Exit less if the entire file can be displayed on the first screen.
+-g	Highlights the string last found using search. By default, less highlights all strings matching the last search command.
+-G	Removes all highlights from strings found using search.
+```
+For a complete list of options, refer to the less help file by running:
+```
+    less --help
+```
+## Few Examples:
+1. Open a Text File
+```
+less /etc/updatedb.conf
+```
+
+2. Show Line Numbers
+```
+less -N /etc/init/mysql.conf
+```
+
+3. Open File with Pattern Search
+```
+less -pERROR /etc/init/mysql.conf
+```
+4. Remove Multiple Blank Lines
+```
+less welcome.txt
+```
+
+Here I showed you how to use the less command in Linux. Although there are other terminal pagers, such as most and more, but less could be a better choice as it is a powerful tool present in almost every system.
