NAME

       cat - concatenate files and write them to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       cat [-u] [file] ...

OPTIONS

       -u     Unbuffered output

EXAMPLES

       cat file 	   # Display file on the terminal

       cat file1 file2 | lpr
			   # Concatenate 2 files and print result

DESCRIPTION

       Cat  concatenates its input files and copies the result to stdout.  If no input file is named, or - is encountered as a file name, standard
       input is used.  Output is buffered in 512 byte blocks unless the -u flag is given.  If you just want to copy a  file,  cp  should  be  used
       since it is faster.

SEE ALSO

       cp(1).
