NAME
cat - catenate and print
SYNOPSIS
cat
[
-u
] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Cat
reads each
file
in sequence and writes it on the standard output.
Thus
-
cat file
prints the file and
-
cat file1 file2 >file3
concatenates the first two files and places the result
on the third.
If no
file
is given, or if the argument `-' is encountered,
cat
reads from the standard input.
Output is buffered in 512-byte blocks unless the
standard output is a terminal or the
-u
option is present.
SEE ALSO
pr(1), cp(1)
BUGS
Beware of `cat a b >a' and `cat a b >b', which
destroy input files before reading them.
