### Syntax of a file
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`bat` can be configured to change the default syntax of the file using `--map-syntax`. For example not all `.conf` file's have `INI` syntax(some do) so it cannot be default. But you can configure it if you want.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
For example:
 | 
			
		||||
```bash
 | 
			
		||||
# Use INI syntax for .conf files
 | 
			
		||||
--map-syntax "*.conf:INI"
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
# Use ".gitignore"-style highlighting for ".ignore" files
 | 
			
		||||
--map-syntax ".ignore:Git Ignore"
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
# Use INI syntax for .conf files
 | 
			
		||||
--map-syntax "*.conf:INI"
 | 
			
		||||
```
