=head1 NAME
cat -- concatenate and print files.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
cat [-benstuv] [file ...]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
I<cat> reads and prints the files in order they are given. If no files
are given, I<standard input> is processed. A lone dash represents
I<standard input> as well.
=head2 OPTIONS
I<cat> accepts the following options:
=over 4
=item -b
Number all the non blank lines, starting at 1.
=item -e
Print a dollar sign (B<$>) at the end of each lines. Implies I<-v>.
=item -n
Number all the lines, starting at 1.
=item -s
The I<squeeze> option. Sequential empty lines are squeezed into a
single empty line.
=item -t
Display tabs as I<^I>. Implies I<-v>.
=item -u
Unbuffer output.
=item -v
Display non-printable characters in a printable way. Characters in the
range I<\000> - I<\037>, with the exception of tabs and linefeeds, are
printed as I<^X>, where I<X> is the symbol I<\0100> higher. I<DEL> is
printed as I<^?>. Characters whose highest bit is set are printed as
I<M->, followed by the representation of the character with the high
bit stripped.
=back
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
The working of I<cat> is not influenced by any environment variables.
=head1 BUGS
I<cat> has no known bugs.
=head1 STANDARDS
This I<cat> implementation is compliant with the B<IEEE Std1003.2-1992>
specification, also known as B<POSIX.2>.
This I<cat> implementation is compatible with the B<OpenBSD> implementation.
