;;; eshell-dat.el --- A better `cat' for Eshell -*- lexical-binding: t -*- ;;; Commentary: ;; An alternative to `eshell/cat'. If you `dat' an image file it will be ;; displayed as a thumbnail in the terminal similar to Kitty's "icat" or the ;; "catimg" command. If you Dat a file it will be shown with syntax ;; highlighting, sort of like how the "bat" command can be configured. ;; This is mostly lifted directly from ;; https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/3432/display-images-in-eshell-with-iimage-mode ;; and also a bit from https://github.com/manateelazycat/aweshell/blob/d246df619573ca3f46070cc0ac82d024271ed243/aweshell.el#L775 ;; .
