20 years using unix systems and never used cat with arguments.
nl(1)
- omaranto 8y agoI agree that nl is better for line numbering, but have you really never used cat with arguments? One of the most common use cases is for concatenating files: cat file1 file2 > combined-file There file1 and file2 are arguments. What do you use cat for?
- pmarin 8y agoI mean flag arguments. sed {} file1 file2 > combined-file
