# bat-extras: batman Read system manual pages (`man`) using `bat` as the manual page formatter. Gone are the days of losing your place while reading through monotone manual pages. With `bat` and `batman`, you can read `man ifconfig` with beautiful 24-bit color and syntax higlighting. ## Usage batman [SECTION] [ENTRY] ## Environment | Variable | Description | | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | `MANPAGER` | Changes the pager used for `batman`. This is treated like `BAT_PAGER`, but only affects this command. | ## Installation This script is a part of the `bat-extras` suite of scripts. You can find install instructions [here](../README.md#installation). ## Acknowledgements Thanks to [@sharkdp](https://github.com/sharkdp) and [@LunarLambda](https://github.com/LunarLambda) for debugging how to make this work properly in [certain environments](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat/issues/652). ## Issues?
