Color of the rofi output is not preserved when piping it to the less.

[aljustiet]

When I run the rofi -help | less -R, the color of the output is not preserved. How can I fix it?
OS: Arch/Hyprland
Rofi version: rofi-lbonn-wayland-git 1.7.5.wayland3.r26.gd88b475b-1

Rofi only outputs colors to a tty, this makes it easier to redirect the output to a file in a readable way.
There used to be some tool that can 'fake' a tty when piping, but cannot remember the name.

Have you remembered the name of that program?

[DaveDavenport]

could not remember it, but this works:

socat - EXEC:'rofi -h ',pty,setsid,ctty | less -R

[yusufaktepe]

could not remember it

unbuffer maybe? (part of expect)

unbuffer rofi -h | less -R

[aljustiet]

could not remember it

unbuffer maybe? (part of expect)

unbuffer rofi -h | less -R

Wow!

[aljustiet]

could not remember it

unbuffer maybe? (part of expect)

unbuffer rofi -h | less -R

Where Did you find this program?

I remembered I'd used it before, probably seen it at Stackoverflow.
