| .Sh NAME |
| .Nm bsdcat |
| .Nd expand files to standard output |
| .Sh SYNOPSIS |
| .Nm |
| .Op options |
| .Op files |
| .Pp |
| .Sh DESCRIPTION |
| .Nm |
| expands files to standard output. |
| .Sh OPTIONS |
| .Nm |
| typically takes a filename as an argument or reads standard input when used in a |
| pipe. In both cases decompressed data it written to standard output. |
| .Sh EXAMPLES |
| .Pp |
| To decompress a file: |
| .Pp |
| .Dl bsdcat example.txt.gz > example.txt |
| .Pp |
| To decompress standard input in a pipe: |
| .Pp |
| .Dl cat example.txt.gz | bsdcat > example.txt |
| .Pp |
| Both examples achieve the same results - a decompressed file by redirecting |
| output. |
