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.
