.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 is written to standard output.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
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.
