pcat

NAME

pcat - unpack and concatenate files

SYNOPSIS

pcat file ...

DESCRIPTION

The pcat(1) utility unpacks files that were compressed by pack(1), and then writes the result to standard output.

Each file is expected to be a file compressed by pack(1); the file operand need not include the .z suffix.

The pcat(1) utility will not unpack a file if the file does not appear to have been packed by pack(1), or if the file cannot be opened.

Use the -f option to force decompression.

DIAGNOSTICS

The pcat(1) utility exits with 0 for success and >0 if an error occurred.

NOTES

The pcat(1) utility is a link to the gunzip(1) command.
