+      Usually lesspipe.sh is called as an input filter to less. With the help
+      of that filter less will display the uncompressed contents of compressed
+      (gzip, bzip2, compress, rar, 7-zip, lzip, xz or lzma) files. For files
+      containing archives and directories, a table of contents will be
+      displayed (e.g tar, ar, rar, jar, rpm and deb formats). Other supported
+      formats include nroff, pdf, ps, dvi, shared library, MS word, OASIS
+      (e.g. Openoffice), NetCDF, html, mp3, jpg, png, iso images, MacOSX bom,
+      plist and archive formats, perl storable data and gpg encrypted files.
+      This does require additional helper programs being installed.
