CATF (CATENATE_FILE) -- Read a series of files and write them to standard output.
usage:  CATF [pathname...]  [-]     {CL}


FORMAT

  CATF [pathname ...]


  CATF reads input files in order and writes them to standard output.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (optional)    Specify file(s) to write to standard output.  If multiple
                pathnames are given, they are read and written in the order
                that they appear on the command line.
                Default if omitted: read standard input.

OPTIONS

  CATF has no unique options, but does use the command line parser and so
  accepts the standard command options listed in HELP CL.


EXAMPLES

  1.  $ catf garbage         Writes the file "garbage" on standard output.

  2.  $ catf garbage - trash >collector

                            Concatenates the file "garbage," the lines read
                            from standard input, and the file "trash," and
                            writes the result in the file "collector."

  3.  $ catf collector >>junk
                            Appends the contents of "collector" to the file
                            "junk."
