|
|
Usage: bat [OPTIONS] [FILE]...
|
|
bat <COMMAND>
|
|
|
|
Arguments:
|
|
[FILE]...
|
|
File(s) to print / concatenate. Use a dash ('-') or no argument at all to read from
|
|
standard input.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
-A, --show-all
|
|
Show non-printable characters like space, tab or newline. This option can also be used to
|
|
print binary files. Use '--tabs' to control the width of the tab-placeholders.
|
|
|
|
--nonprintable-notation <notation>
|
|
Set notation for non-printable characters.
|
|
|
|
Possible values:
|
|
* unicode (␇, ␊, ␀, ..)
|
|
* caret (^G, ^J, ^@, ..)
|
|
|
|
-p, --plain...
|
|
Only show plain style, no decorations. This is an alias for '--style=plain'. When '-p' is
|
|
used twice ('-pp'), it also disables automatic paging (alias for '--style=plain
|
|
--paging=never').
|
|
|
|
-l, --language <language>
|
|
Explicitly set the language for syntax highlighting. The language can be specified as a
|
|
name (like 'C++' or 'LaTeX') or possible 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
|
|
'--highlight-line 30:+10' highlights lines 30 to 40
|
|
|
|
--file-name <name>
|
|
Specify the name to display for a file. Useful when piping data to bat from STDIN when bat
|
|
does not otherwise know the filename. Note that the provided file name is also used for
|
|
syntax detection.
|
|
|
|
-d, --diff
|
|
Only show lines that have been added/removed/modified with respect to the Git index. Use
|
|
--diff-context=N to control how much context you want to see.
|
|
|
|
--diff-context <N>
|
|
Include N lines of context around added/removed/modified lines when using '--diff'.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
-S, --chop-long-lines
|
|
Truncate all lines longer than screen width. Alias for '--wrap=never'.
|
|
|
|
--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 enables colors if an
|
|
interactive terminal is detected - colors are automatically disabled if the output goes to
|
|
a pipe.
|
|
Possible values: *auto*, never, always.
|
|
|
|
--italic-text <when>
|
|
Specify when to use ANSI sequences for italic text in the output. 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 interactive 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 --paging=never' or its
|
|
alias,'-P'. To disable the pager permanently, set BAT_PAGING to 'never'. 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:syntax>
|
|
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'. Note that the right-hand side is the *name* of the syntax, not
|
|
a file extension.
|
|
|
|
--ignored-suffix <ignored-suffix>
|
|
Ignore extension. For example:
|
|
'bat --ignored-suffix ".dev" my_file.json.dev' will use JSON syntax, and ignore '.dev'
|
|
|
|
--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 <components>
|
|
Configure which elements (line numbers, file headers, grid borders, 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:
|
|
|
|
* default: enables recommended style components (default).
|
|
* full: enables all available components.
|
|
* auto: same as 'default', unless the output is piped.
|
|
* plain: disables all available components.
|
|
* changes: show Git modification markers.
|
|
* header: alias for 'header-filename'.
|
|
* header-filename: show filenames before the content.
|
|
* header-filesize: show file sizes before the content.
|
|
* grid: vertical/horizontal lines to separate side bar
|
|
and the header from the content.
|
|
* rule: horizontal lines to delimit files.
|
|
* numbers: show line numbers in the side bar.
|
|
* snip: draw separation lines between distinct line ranges.
|
|
|
|
-r, --line-range <N:M>
|
|
Only print the specified range of lines for each file. For example:
|
|
'--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
|
|
'--line-range 40' only prints line 40
|
|
'--line-range 30:+10' prints lines 30 to 40
|
|
|
|
-L, --list-languages
|
|
Display a list of supported languages for syntax highlighting.
|
|
|
|
-u, --unbuffered
|
|
This option exists for POSIX-compliance reasons ('u' is for 'unbuffered'). The output is
|
|
always unbuffered - this option is simply ignored.
|
|
|
|
--diagnostic
|
|
Show diagnostic information for bug reports.
|
|
|
|
--acknowledgements
|
|
Show acknowledgements.
