- SPECIFICATION
- CONCAT reads each of the specified FROM files and writes
- it to the destination specified by the TO option. If no
- FROM option is given CONCAT reads from its default input;
- likewise if no TO option is specified it writes to its
- default output.
-
- The following switches apply to CONCAT
-
- SORT The FROM files are read in alphabetical order.
- Useful when concatenating files split with SPLIT.
-
- VISIBLE
- Causes non-printing characters (with the exception
- of tabs and new-lines) to be printed visibly. Con-
- trol characters are printed as ^X (control-x); the
- DEL character (hex 0x7d) is printed as ^?. Non-
- ASCII characters (with the high bit set) are
- printed as M-x, where x is the character specified
- by the seven low order bits.
-
- When used with the VISIBLE switch, the following switches
- may be used.
-
- TABS Causes tabs to be printed as ^I's.
-
- EOL Causes a $ character to be printed at the end of
- each line (prior to the new-line).
-
- The TABS and EOL switches are ignored if the VISSIBLE
- switch is not specified.
