bat: Number all output lines.
$ bat --number ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "bat --number ${filename}" is likely used in a command-line interface or terminal to display the content of a file along with line numbers using a tool called bat.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "bat" is the name of the command or program being executed.
- "--number" is an option or flag passed to the bat command. It tells bat to display line numbers along with the file content.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for the name of the file you want to display. The actual name of the file should be provided when running the command, replacing "${filename}" with the file's name.
For example, if you wanted to display the content of a file named "example.txt" with line numbers, you would use the command: "bat --number example.txt".
