CAT(1) General Commands Manual CAT(1)
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.
