NAME
- cat - concatenate files
SYNOPSIS
- cat [ - ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
-
Cat
reads each
file
in turn and writes it on the standard output.
Thus
cat file
prints the file to standard output, and the following
cat file1 file2 >file3
concatenates two files onto a third.
If no file is given, or where - is given as an argument, cat reads from the standard input. Output is buffered in blocks matching the input.
SOURCE
- /appl/cmd/cat.b
SEE ALSO
- cp(1), stream(1)
BUGS
- Beware of cat a b >a and cat a b >b which destroy input files before reading them.
