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 in-
       put when	used in	a pipe.	 In both cases decompressed data is written to
       standard	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	 redi-
       recting output.
