cat

Print the contents of the given file.

Synopsis:

cat filename

Arguments:

filename

The name of the file to print.

Description:

The cat command operates like the cat command in UNIX TM C-Shell, except it only works on one file at a time. Use this command if you want to examine the contents of a short ASCII file without opening up an editor or another window. If you issue this command from within the GUI, the output will go to the Output window, otherwise it will just print to the shell window running MeshTV.

Examples:

cat myfile

cat /usr/people/sample/input.file

cat ~/myfile

See Also:

copyatt , sh
