SYNOPSIS
zstdless [files...]
DESCRIPTION
zstdless allows viewing of Zstandard (.zst) compressed files using the less pager. It decompresses the file on the fly and pipes the output to less, providing the full interactive navigation experience including forward and backward scrolling, searching, and line jumping.
This is particularly useful for browsing compressed log files and data without needing to decompress them to disk first. It is part of the zstd suite of compression utilities.
