QNX SDP8.0Utilities ReferenceUtilities
Concatenate and print files (POSIX, toybox)
Syntax:
cat [-etuv] [file...]
Runs on:
QNX OS
Options:
- -e
- Mark each newline with a dollar sign (
$). - -t
- Show tab characters as
^I. - -u
- Copy one byte at a time (slow).
- -v
- Display non-printing characters as escape sequences with
M-xfor high ASCII characters (greater than 127), and^xfor other non-printing characters. - file
- The pathname of an input file. If no files are specified, standard input is used. If a
file is the dash character (
-), cat reads from standard input at that point in the sequence.
Description:
The cat utility reads files in the order you specify and writes their contents to standard output.
CAUTION:
The cat host binary is
from the MSYS package. It is not designed to work with ASLR
as on Windows 10 and 11, Force randomization for images
(Mandatory ASLR ) is disabled by default. If you enable it
to use ASLR, the date utility will fail
to load.
This utility is provided as part of the toybox package. For information on how to enable it, see toybox.
