NAME            cat -- concatenate and print



SYNOPSIS        cat file  ...
                        1


DESCRIPTION     cat reads each file in sequence and writes it on

                the standard output.  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.



                If the argument "-" is encountered, cat reads

                from the standard input file.



FILES           --



SEE ALSO        pr(I), cp(I)



DIAGNOSTICS     none; if a file cannot be found it is ignored.



BUGS            cat x y >x  and  cat x y >y  cause strange re-

                sults.
