# node-bcat
Pipe to the browser utility, Very useful for log tail fun :)
node-bcat features auto scrolling (with enable/disable), ansi to html coloring (--ansi) and behavior and color customization.
This module uses [RC](https://github.com/dominictarr/rc) to manage its configuration, so in addition to command line arguments you may save your favorite configuration in .bcatrc.
## example
```
> npm install -g bcat
> cat somefile | bcat
// redirect error stream also
> node index.js 2>&1 | bcat
```
Want to see something moving too?
test.js:
```js
setInterval(function () {
console.log(1)
}, 1000)
