NAME
+ +
+ + cat, read, nobs – catenate files
+ +
+

SYNOPSIS
+ +
+ + cat [ file ... ]
+ read [ −m ] [ −n nline ] [ file ... ]
+ nobs [ file ... ]
+ +
+

DESCRIPTION
+ +
+ + Cat reads each file in sequence and writes it on the standard + output. Thus
+ +
+ + cat file +
+ + +
+ prints a file and
+ +
+ + cat file1 file2 >file3 +
+ + +
+ concatenates the first two files and places the result on the + third. +
+ + If no file is given, cat reads from the standard input. Output + is buffered in blocks matching the input. +
+ + Read copies to standard output exactly one line from the named + file, default standard input. It is useful in interactive rc(1) + scripts. +
+ + The −m flag causes it to continue reading and writing multiple + lines until end of file; −n causes it to read no more than nline + lines. +
+ + Read always executes a single write for each line of input, which + can be helpful when preparing input to programs that expect line-at-a-time + data. It never reads any more data from the input than it prints + to the output. +
+ + Nobs copies the named files to standard output except that it + removes all backspace characters and the characters that precede + them. It is useful to use as $PAGER with the Unix version of man(1) + when run inside a win (see acme(1)) window.

DIAGNOSTICS
+ +
+ + Read exits with status eof on end of file or, in the −n case, + if it doesn’t read nlines lines.
+ +
+

BUGS
+ +
+ + Beware of cat a b >a and cat a b >b, which destroy input files before + reading them.
