LinuxShellCommandsCAT
cat
Short for "concatenate", displays the contents of a file on the screen. Can be used with multiple filenames in which case it outputs the contents of all the files concatenated together sequentially into a single stream. Used frequently with output redirectors to combine separate files into one.
