BSDCAT(1) General Commands Manual BSDCAT(1) NAME bsdcat -- expand files to standard output SYNOPSIS bsdcat [options] [files] DESCRIPTION bsdcat expands files to standard output. OPTIONS bsdcat typically takes a filename as an argument or reads standard input when used in a pipe. In both cases decompressed data is written to stan- dard output. EXAMPLES To decompress a file: bsdcat example.txt.gz > example.txt To decompress standard input in a pipe: cat example.txt.gz | bsdcat > example.txt Both examples achieve the same results - a decompressed file by redirecting output. SEE ALSO bzcat(1), uncompress(1), xzcat(1), zcat(1), libarchive-formats(5) FreeBSD 15.1 March 1, 2014 BSDCAT(1)
