cat [-benstuv] [-] [file ...]
The cat utility reads the specified files sequentially, writing them to standard output.
The file operands are processed in command line order. A single dash represents
standard input.
Note that because of the shell language mechanism used to perform output
redirection, the command cat file1 file2 > file2 will cause the original data in
file2 to be destroyed. Also, the process will go into an infinite loop.
-b Implies the -n option but doesn’t number blank lines.
-e Implies the -v option, and displays a dollar sign ($) at the end of each line
as well.
-n Number the output lines, starting at 1.
-s Squeeze multiple adjacent empty lines, causing the output to be single
spaced.
-t Implies the -v option, and displays tab characters as well.
-u Guarantee that the output is unbuffered.
-v Displays non-printing characters so they are visible. Control characters print
as “|X” for control-X; the delete character prints as “|?” Non-display
characters are printed as “M-” (for meta) followed by the character for the
low 7 bits.
