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.
