bsdcat1
Expand files to standard output
Usage
bsdcat [options]
[files]
Overview
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 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 redirecting output.
