<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<EM>Cat</EM> concatenates its input files and copies the result to <EM>stdout</EM>. 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 <STRONG>-u</STRONG> flag is
given. If you just want to copy a file, <EM>cp</EM> should be used since it is
faster.
