Command: cat - concatenate files and write them to stdout
Syntax: cat [-u] [file] ...
Flags: -u Unbuffered output
Examples: cat file # Display file on the terminal
cat file1 file2 | lpr # Concatenate 2 files and print
result
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.
