Linux文本查看命令及其选项详解（cat,head,tail）-创新互联

linux系统内置命令可以通过以下两种方式查询：“cat --help” 或者“man cat”。

cat命令的常用选项和官方解释如下：

cat file_name 显示文件全部内容

cat -b file_name 显示文件非空行内容

cat -E file_name 在文件每行末尾显示$，常用于管道功能

cat -n file_name 显示内容和行号

Usage: cat [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Concatenate FILE(s) to standard output.

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

 -A, --show-all      equivalent to -vET
 -b, --number-nonblank  number nonempty output lines, overrides -n
 -e            equivalent to -vE
 -E, --show-ends     display $ at end of each line
 -n, --number       number all output lines

 -T, --show-tabs     display TAB characters as ^I
 -u            (ignored)
 -v, --show-nonprinting  use ^ and M- notation, except for LFD and TAB
   --help   display this help and exit
