There is very little consistency among all of the Documentation/ files (hopefully there is some consistency within any one file).
I found many of:
a. using a prompt, e.g.: $ cat /dev/input/mouse
b. using backquotes: `cat /dev/input/mouse`
c. using double quotes: "cat /dev/input/mouse"
d. using a colon: type (or enter): cat /dev/input/mouse

Yes, that's OK also.
