Can emacs be used to cat a file?
I would like to overwrite the shell command "cat" with something that
can show the syntax highlighting of the file.
You can use batch mode to output stuff w/o launching emacs, and it's
actually quite fast.
emacs --batch --eval '(print "hello world")'
I don't know how to make it actually dump colors' escape sequences
along w/ text but I guess it should be done via modes' lisp interface,
if it's possible at all.
On a side note you can use a bit more specialized packages to create
"colored cat". I'd use pygments w/ python (which can do it right out of
the box), but I guess there should be at least one accessible from your
language of choice.
