- Pretty print the contents of one or more files to `stdout`:
`bat {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
- Concatenate several files into the target file:
`bat {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}} > {{path/to/target_file}}`
- Remove decorations and disable paging (`--style plain` can be replaced with `-p`, or both options with `-pp`):
`bat --style plain --pager never {{path/to/file}}`
- Highlight a specific line or a range of lines with a different background color:
`bat {{--highlight-line|-H}} {{10|5:10|:10|10:|10:+5}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Show non-printable characters like space, tab or newline:
`bat {{--show-all|-A}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Remove all decorations except line numbers in the output:
`bat {{--number|-n}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Syntax highlight a JSON file by explicitly setting the language:
`bat {{--language|-l}} json {{path/to/file.json}}`
- Display all supported languages:
`bat {{--list-languages|-L}}`
