Description:

MORE :
More is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time.  This version is especially primitive.  Users should realize that less(1) provides more(1) emulation and extensive enhancements.

LESS :
Less is  a  program  similar to more (1), but which allows backward movement in the file as well asforward movement.  Also, less does not have to read the entire input file before starting,  so  with large input files it starts up faster than text editors like vi (1).

LS :
List information about the FILEs (the current directory by default).  Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

-a, --all do not ignore entries starting with .
-l use a long listing format
