IO::Pager::less(3pm)

💖 IO::Pager::less 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to IO::Pager::less — it's a manual page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the perl docs (that's the <hotpink>3pm</hotpink> part of IO::Pager::less(3pm), iykyk ✨). and what does it do? it gives you a pager. in pure perl. no cap 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

IO::Pager::less — no pager? pipe output to a Perl-based pager on a TTY 💅

like, literally: if you don't have a pager, this one shows up for you. main character energy fr.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

{
  #Can be instantiated functionally or OO, same as other sub-classes.
  my $token = new IO::Pager::less;

  $token->print("Pure perl goodness...\n") while 1;
}

okay so notice how it can be instantiated functionally or OO — same as the other sub-classes, no special treatment 💖. then you just print to your $token forever and ever, while 1, iconic behaviour honestly.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

IO::Pager::less is a simple, extensible, perl-based pager.

that's the whole vibe. simple. extensible. perl-based. slay.

for all the method details, go look at IO::Pager — that's where the lore lives 📖✨

---

💅 METHODS 💅

every single method is inherited from IO::Pager 🫶 — except for:

• instantiation — that's the making of the thing
• print — that's the printing of the thing

so like, those two are special, everything else is a hand-me-down from the parent and that's fine, we love a family heirloom 💖
