CAT(1) Minix Programmer's 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. SEE ALSO cp(1). 1
