Image Transcription: Meme


In Unix there is a "man" command and a "cat" command...

[Image of a black dog with a white throat and floppy ears that hang limply, sitting by a bed. Their mouth is downturned and their round, sad eyes look up.]

so why no "dog" command???

Well, I have no idea what the commands do but I still enjoyed the joke.

Man = manual. Not sure what cat stands for but it prints the content of a file to the terminal (command line).

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I believe it stands for concatenate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I learned it long ago as "catenate".

checks Google

Yep, seems to fit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, I always forget it can do more than just print file contents. Well, not planning on remembering it tomorrow.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

cat file1 file2 > file3 => the contents of both file1 and file2 concatenating their contents into file3

There is actually woman pages if you have Emacs installed (which used to be the norm). It stands for WithOut Man Pages: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/woman.html
