It sits in a classic Unix niche: let the pager stay simple, but teach it to render compressed files, archives, documents, media metadata, and nested archive structures through an external preprocessor. ### Historique du projet The project is maintained by Wolfgang Friebel and distributed from the lesspipe web site and the `wofr06/lesspipe` GitHub repository. The maintainer's project page lists early coverage in Linux Magazin 01/2001, CERN Computing Newsletter 01/2002, and Linux User 04/2002, showing that the script was already established in Unix/Linux user circles by the early 2000s. The changelog shows continuous modernization rather than a frozen shell-script utility: later releases added support for newer archive and document formats, optional syntax colorizers, tab-completion improvements, security fixes, and a 2025 note for a '25 years recursive lesspipe' article. ### Historique d'adoption lesspipe's adoption follows the shape of pager culture: users opt into it through `LESSOPEN`, distributions package it as a small helper, and package managers expose it as a lightweight add-on for people who live in terminals. Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, and Arch package metadata in this batch all list a `lesspipe` package. ### Modes d'utilisation The common usage is not to run lesspipe as a destination program, but to configure `less` so the filter is called automatically. Once installed, it makes `less archive.tar.gz`, `less file.pdf`, or nested archive inspection behave like ordinary paging instead of a manual extract-convert-open workflow. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent Package nerds care about lesspipe because it is a compact example of Unix composition aging well: one pager, one environment hook, and a shell-script filter that tracks the moving target of real-world file formats. It also explains why many Linux users expect `less` to be smarter than upstream `less` alone. ### Chronologie - 2001: Linux Magazin 01/2001 coverage listed on the maintainer's lesspipe page. - 2002: CERN Computing Newsletter 01/2002 and Linux User 04/2002 coverage listed on the maintainer's lesspipe page. - 2015: The GitHub repository `wofr06/lesspipe` was created on July 20, 2015. - 2025: Version 2.18 noted a '25 years recursive lesspipe' article in the lesspipe.sh wiki. - 2026: Version 2.27 was recorded in the changelog on June 10, 2026. ### Related projects - lesspipe is tightly coupled to `less` and its `LESSOPEN` input-preprocessor mechanism. It also overlaps with tools it delegates to or competes with for specific formats, including archive utilities, document converters, `file`/magic databases, `bat`, Vim/Neovim-based colorizers, and media metadata tools. ### Sources - - - - - ## Notes de sécurité broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Risque Geiger:** blue / moyen - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Autres enregistrements de gestionnaires de paquets - Nix - lesspipe: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/le/lesspipe/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - pacman - lesspipe - 2.27-1: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: lesspipe from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | an input filter for the pager less | https://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~friebel/unix/lesspipe.html - MacPorts - lesspipe: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: textproc/lesspipe/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
