However, in some traditional uses such an environment variable
|
||||
gives options for the program instead of a pathname.
|
||||
Thus, one has
|
||||
.BR MORE ,
|
||||
.BR LESS ,
|
||||
.B MORE
|
||||
and
|
||||
.BR GZIP .
|
||||
.BR LESS .
|
||||
Such usage is considered mistaken, and to be avoided in new
|
||||
programs.
|
||||
The authors of
|
||||
.I gzip
|
||||
should consider renaming their option to
|
||||
.BR GZIP_OPT .
