NAME cat - concatenate files by printing them one after another
SYNOPSIS cat [files] [-]
DESCRIPTION cat prints its argument files one after the other. The special file name - is taken to mean the standard input; this allows inserting the standard input in between a series of files. If not files are named, the standard input is read.
EXAMPLES
cat a b c   # print files a, b, and c on the standard output
echo ----- | cat a - b   # print a, a line, and b
NOTE This program is supplied for systems that do not have cat or some other program to join a series of files. It is a bare bones version with no options.
