“chop”表示截断(丢弃行的剩余部分)不折叠(将余数放在下一行的开头).
记录的-S选项对less的行为与您描述的相反.
-S or --chop-long-lines
Causes lines longer than the screen width to be chopped rather
than folded. That is,the remainder of a long line is simply
discarded. The default is to fold long lines; that is,display
the remainder on the next line.
(我认为-S的含义是“Scroll Sideways to see end of line”)
尝试省略-S选项.
