SYNOPSIS
========

**bascat** [*--help* | *-h*] [*--version* | *-v*] [*--line-numbers* | *-n*] [*--no-line-numbers* | *+n*] [*--highlight* | *-l* ] [*--no-highlight* | *+l* ] [*--pager=PAGER* | *-p PAGER*] [*file* ...]

DESCRIPTION
===========

Types tokenized (SAVEd) BBC BASIC programs in a readable way.

With no *file* arguments, **bascat** reads from standard input.

If standard output is a terminal, output will be piped through a
pager. The default is **$PAGER** from the environment, or **less** if
not set. Note that if standard output is not a terminal (e.g. if redirecting to
a file), no pager is used.

Options can be placed in the **BASCAT** environment variable, if you don't
like the standard settings.

OPTIONS
=======

Prefix long options with **no-** to cancel them.  Use **+** to cancel short options.

--help, -h
  Display built-in help message and exit.

--version, -h
  Display version number and exit.

--line-numbers, -n
  Display line numbers for each line. This is enabled by default; use **+n** or
  **--no-line-numbers** to disable.

--highlight, -l
  Attempts to highlight keywords. Whether this works properly or not depends on
  the pager in use; **more**\(1), **less**\(1), and **most**\(1) work correctly.
  **lv**\(1) will work if you have **-c** in **~/.lv** or **LV** in the environment.

--pager=pager, -p pager
  Sets pager to use, if standard output is a terminal. Overrides **PAGER** environment variable.
  If you don't want a pager, use **-p cat**.
