NAME

       bsdcat — expand files to standard output

SYNOPSIS

       bsdcat [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION

       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 it 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.
