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).

[–] feddylemmy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I believe it stands for concatenate.

[–] quaddo@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

I learned it long ago as "catenate".

checks Google

Yep, seems to fit.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 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.

[–] elscallr@lemmy.world 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

[–] Enekk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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
