I always use the cat, although it's unnecessary. It adds uniformity. Some people feel the need to use as few characters as possible, or to spare the processor the extra load. But others (me included) see the cat as a convenient way to add clarity. To each his own.

I also get yelled at by my friends for usually using "sort | uniq" instead of "sort -u." Because I so often use "sort | uniq -cd" or pipe to "wc -l," it's a lot easier to always type it the same way. Also it adds clarity. The power in all the tiny tools on a *nix box is that they can be strung together to do amazingly complex tasks. It is not (and should not be) the goal of any one program to overreach and try to do too much.

However, you're correct about the cat and my friends are correct about the sort -u. I just prefer to do it my way. Stubborn, I guess. At least I finally started using CTRL+R instead of piping the history command through a grep. Usually...

NAME

       strip - Removes symbols and relocation bits

SYNOPSIS

       strip [-V] file...

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       strip:  XCU5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

OPTIONS

       [SVID 3]  Displays the version number of the strip command.

DESCRIPTION

       The strip command removes the symbol table and any strippable subsections of the section, including compact relocation information ordinar-
       ily present in executable files. This is useful to save space after a program has been debugged.

       The effect of strip is the same as use of the -s option to cc, c89, or ld.

       Note that the strip command will not strip executables with unresolved relocation entries. It also does not handle archive files.

EXIT STATUS

       Success.  An error occurred.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the behavior of strip: Provides a default value for the locale category variables that  are  not
       set  or	null.  If set, overrides the values of all other locale variables.  Determines the locale for the interpretation of byte sequences
       as characters (single-byte or multibyte) in input parameters and files.	Determines the locale used to affect the format  and  contents	of
       diagnostic  messages  displayed by the command.	Determines the location of message catalogs for processing of LC_MESSAGES.  Determines the
       directory where a temporary file will be created (if needed). If not set, the current working directory is used.
