BAT(1)                      General Commands Manual                     BAT(1)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
NAME
 | 
			
		||||
       bat - a cat(1) clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
USAGE
 | 
			
		||||
       bat [OPTIONS] [FILE]...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       bat cache [CACHE-OPTIONS] [--build|--clear]
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
DESCRIPTION
 | 
			
		||||
       bat  prints  the syntax-highlighted content of a collection of FILEs to
 | 
			
		||||
       the terminal. If no FILE is specified, or when FILE is  '-',  it  reads
 | 
			
		||||
       from standard input.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       bat  supports  a  large number of programming and markup languages.  It
 | 
			
		||||
       also communicates with git(1) to show modifications with respect to the
 | 
			
		||||
       git  index.  bat automatically pipes its output through a pager (by de‐
 | 
			
		||||
       fault: less).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       Whenever the output of bat goes to  a  non-interactive  terminal,  i.e.
 | 
			
		||||
       when  the output is piped into another process or into a file, bat will
 | 
			
		||||
       act as a drop-in replacement for cat(1) and fall back to  printing  the
 | 
			
		||||
       plain file contents.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
OPTIONS
 | 
			
		||||
       General  remarks: Command-line options like '-l'/'--language' that take
 | 
			
		||||
       values  can  be  specified  as  either  '--language   value',   '--lan‐
 | 
			
		||||
       guage=value', '-l value' or '-lvalue'.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -A, --show-all
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Show  non-printable  characters  like space, tab or newline. Use
 | 
			
		||||
              '--tabs' to control the width of the tab-placeholders.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -p, --plain
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Only show plain style, no decorations.  This  is  an  alias  for
 | 
			
		||||
              '--style=plain'.  When  '-p' is used twice ('-pp'), it also dis‐
 | 
			
		||||
              ables    automatic    paging    (alias    for     '--style=plain
 | 
			
		||||
              --pager=never').
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -l, --language <language>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Explicitly  set  the  language for syntax highlighting. The lan‐
 | 
			
		||||
              guage can be specified as a name (like 'C++' or 'LaTeX') or pos‐
 | 
			
		||||
              sible   file   extension   (like  'cpp',  'hpp'  or  'md').  Use
 | 
			
		||||
              '--list-languages' to show all supported language names and file
 | 
			
		||||
              extensions.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -H, --highlight-line <N:M>...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Highlight  the specified line ranges with a different background
 | 
			
		||||
              color For example:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              --highlight-line 40
 | 
			
		||||
                     highlights line 40
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              --highlight-line 30:40
 | 
			
		||||
                     highlights lines 30 to 40
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              --highlight-line :40
 | 
			
		||||
                     highlights lines 1 to 40
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              --highlight-line 40:
 | 
			
		||||
                     highlights lines 40 to the end of the file
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --tabs <T>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Set the tab width to T spaces. Use a width of  0  to  pass  tabs
 | 
			
		||||
              through directly
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --wrap <mode>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Specify  the  text-wrapping mode (*auto*, never, character). The
 | 
			
		||||
              '--terminal-width' option can be used in addition to control the
 | 
			
		||||
              output width.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --terminal-width <width>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Explicitly  set the width of the terminal instead of determining
 | 
			
		||||
              it automatically. If prefixed with '+' or '-', the value will be
 | 
			
		||||
              treated  as  an  offset  to the actual terminal width. See also:
 | 
			
		||||
              '--wrap'.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -n, --number
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Only show line numbers, no other decorations. This is  an  alias
 | 
			
		||||
              for '--style=numbers'
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --color <when>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Specify  when to use colored output. The automatic mode only en‐
 | 
			
		||||
              ables colors if an interactive terminal  is  detected.  Possible
 | 
			
		||||
              values: *auto*, never, always.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --italic-text <when>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Specify  when  to use ANSI sequences for italic text in the out‐
 | 
			
		||||
              put. Possible values: always, *never*.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --decorations <when>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Specify when to use the decorations that have been specified via
 | 
			
		||||
              '--style'. The automatic mode only enables decorations if an in‐
 | 
			
		||||
              teractive terminal is detected. Possible values: *auto*,  never,
 | 
			
		||||
              always.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -f, --force-colorization
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Alias  for '--decorations=always --color=always'. This is useful
 | 
			
		||||
              if the output of bat is piped to another program, but  you  want
 | 
			
		||||
              to keep the colorization/decorations.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --paging <when>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Specify when to use the pager. To disable the pager, use '--pag‐
 | 
			
		||||
              ing=never' or its alias, -P. To disable the  pager  permanently,
 | 
			
		||||
              set  BAT_PAGER  to  an  empty  string. To control which pager is
 | 
			
		||||
              used, see the '--pager' option. Possible values: *auto*,  never,
 | 
			
		||||
              always.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --pager <command>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Determine  which  pager  is  used. This option will override the
 | 
			
		||||
              PAGER and BAT_PAGER environment variables. The default pager  is
 | 
			
		||||
              'less'.  To  control  when the pager is used, see the '--paging'
 | 
			
		||||
              option. Example: '--pager "less -RF"'.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -m, --map-syntax <glob-pattern:syntax-name>...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Map a glob pattern to an existing syntax name. The glob  pattern
 | 
			
		||||
              is  matched  on  the full path and the filename. For example, to
 | 
			
		||||
              highlight  *.build  files  with  the  Python  syntax,   use   -m
 | 
			
		||||
              '*.build:Python'.  To highlight files named '.myignore' with the
 | 
			
		||||
              Git Ignore syntax, use -m '.myignore:Git Ignore'.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --theme <theme>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Set the theme for syntax highlighting.  Use  '--list-themes'  to
 | 
			
		||||
              see  all  available  themes.   To  set  a default theme, add the
 | 
			
		||||
              '--theme="..."' option to the configuration file or  export  the
 | 
			
		||||
              BAT_THEME environment variable (e.g.: export BAT_THEME="...").
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --list-themes
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Display a list of supported themes for syntax highlighting.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       --style <style-components>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Configure  which elements (line numbers, file headers, grid bor‐
 | 
			
		||||
              ders, Git modifications, ..) to display in addition to the  file
 | 
			
		||||
              contents.  The  argument is a comma-separated list of components
 | 
			
		||||
              to display (e.g. 'numbers,changes,grid') or a pre-defined  style
 | 
			
		||||
              ('full').  To set a default style, add the '--style=".."' option
 | 
			
		||||
              to the configuration file or export  the  BAT_STYLE  environment
 | 
			
		||||
              variable (e.g.: export BAT_STYLE=".."). Possible values: *auto*,
 | 
			
		||||
              full, plain, changes, header, grid, numbers, snip.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -r, --line-range <N:M>...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Only print the specified range of lines for each file. For exam‐
 | 
			
		||||
              ple:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              --line-range 30:40
 | 
			
		||||
                     prints lines 30 to 40
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              --line-range :40
 | 
			
		||||
                     prints lines 1 to 40
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              --line-range 40:
 | 
			
		||||
                     prints lines 40 to the end of the file
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -L, --list-languages
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Display a list of supported languages for syntax highlighting.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -u, --unbuffered
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              This option exists for POSIX-compliance reasons ('u' is for 'un‐
 | 
			
		||||
              buffered'). The output is always unbuffered  -  this  option  is
 | 
			
		||||
              simply ignored.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -h, --help
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Print this help message.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       -V, --version
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Show version information.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
 | 
			
		||||
       <FILE>...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
              Files  to print and concatenate. Use a dash ('-') or no argument
 | 
			
		||||
              at all to read from standard input.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
SUBCOMMANDS
 | 
			
		||||
       cache - Modify the syntax-definition and theme cache.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
FILES
 | 
			
		||||
       bat can also be customized with a configuration file. The  location  of
 | 
			
		||||
       the file is dependent on your operating system. To get the default path
 | 
			
		||||
       for your system, call:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       bat --config-file
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       Alternatively, you can use the BAT_CONFIG_PATH environment variable  to
 | 
			
		||||
       point bat to a non-default location of the configuration file.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
ADDING CUSTOM LANGUAGES
 | 
			
		||||
       bat  supports  Sublime  Text .sublime-syntax language files, and can be
 | 
			
		||||
       customized to add additional languages to your local  installation.  To
 | 
			
		||||
       do  this,  add  the  .sublime-snytax language files to `$(bat --config-
 | 
			
		||||
       dir)/syntaxes` and run `bat cache --build`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       Example:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
            mkdir -p "$(bat --config-dir)/syntaxes"
 | 
			
		||||
            cd "$(bat --config-dir)/syntaxes"
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
            # Put new '.sublime-syntax' language definition files
 | 
			
		||||
            # in this folder (or its subdirectories), for example:
 | 
			
		||||
            git clone https://github.com/tellnobody1/sublime-purescript-syntax
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
            # And then build the cache.
 | 
			
		||||
            bat cache --build
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
       Once the cache is built, the new  language  will  be  visible  in  `bat
 | 
			
		||||
       --list-languages`.
 | 
			
		||||
       If  you  ever  want  to  remove the custom languages, you can clear the
 | 
			
		||||
       cache with `bat cache --clear`.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
ADDING CUSTOM THEMES
 | 
			
		||||
       Similarly to custom  languages,  bat  supports  Sublime  Text  .tmTheme
 | 
			
		||||
       themes.   These  can  be installed to `$(bat --config-dir)/themes`, and
 | 
			
		||||
       are added to the cache with `bat cache --build`.
 | 
			
		||||
