NAME

     cat - concatenate and print



SYNOPSIS

     cat file ...



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.
