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 | lp
                         # 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.
