When executing the less I get an error from less:

ce # less 20200814-093500.36786.2.trace
There is no -l option ("less --help" for help)
-  (press RETURN)

then the less command continues

 # which less
/usr/bin/less
 # less --version
There is no -l option ("less --help" for help)

The difference between science fiction and fantasy in this world is
	not any of the elaborate rules that you hear. The difference is
	simply this: Science Fiction has rivets, Fantasy has trees.
	-Orson Scott Card
