minus 5.6.1

// This is an example of a pager that uses minus and reads data from a file and pages
// it. It is similar to less, but in Rust. Hence the name `less-rs`
// This example uses OS threads,

// This example uses a lot of `.expect()` and does not properly handle them. If
// someone is interested to add proper error handling, you are free to file pull
//requests. Libraries like anyhow and thiserror are generally preferred and minus
//also uses thiserror
