NAME            cat -- concatenate and print



SYNOPSIS        cat file  ...
                        1


DESCRIPTION     cat reads each file in sequence and writes it on

                the standard output stream.  Thus:



                   cat file



                is about the easiest way to print a file.  Also:



                   cat file1 file2 >file3



                is about the easiest way to concatenate files.



                If no input file is given cat reads from the

                standard input file.
