About

This is a Rust rewrite of classic POSIX cat(1) program.

The primary purpose of the Rust rewrite is to enable easy deployment on all Rust-supported platforms without need to deal with installing C compiler.

Operation

cat program sends files, stdin, or nothing to stdout.

  1. Input from stdin is implicit if no arguments are given.

  2. A single dash "-" argument can be used as a reference to stdin.

  3. A single colon ":" argument can be used as a reference to an empty file.
