#### `tail -f`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`bat` can be combined with `tail -f` to continuously monitor a given file with syntax highlighting.
 | 
			
		||||
```bash
 | 
			
		||||
tail -f /var/log/pacman.log | bat --paging=never -l log
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
Note that we have to switch off paging in order for this to work. We have also specified the syntax
 | 
			
		||||
explicitly (`-l log`), as it can not be auto-detected in this case.
