Description

Displays text files and command output one screen at a time in the terminal. Users use it to read logs, documentation, source files, and long command output without opening an editor.

It is read-oriented and safe for normal viewing, but it can show sensitive file contents on screen or in terminal scrollback. Use search and navigation keys to inspect large files efficiently.
