NAME cat -- concatenate and print text files SYNOPSIS cat [file] ... DESCRIPTION Cat reads each file in sequence and writes it on the standard output. Thus cat file prints the file; cat file1 file2 >file3 concatenates the first two files and places the result on the third, and, cat file >>out appends 'file' onto the back of 'out'. If no argument or '-' is given, cat reads the standard input. FILES None SEE ALSO The "Software Tools" book, p. 77. crt, pg (if implemented) DIAGNOSTICS A message is printed if a file cannot be opened; further processing is terminated. AUTHORS B. Kernighn & P. J. Plauger BUGS Using the same file for output as well as input may cause strange results.
