cat -- display directory
syntax: cat [pathname] [-t] [-s] [-f filetype] [-a sort_keys] [-i]
ex: cat
cat -a
cat /disk -it
cat -fbas
cat /mydisk -tfSYS
cat .62 -s
cat ?:dir
Displays the contents of the directory specified by pathname; wildcards are
allowed. (If no pathname is given, displays the contents of the current
directory.) The following options are available:
-t: tree format--show contents of directories indented under the directory
names
-i: show files and directories even if they are invisible (use the 'touch'
command to make a file visible or invisible)
-s: short form--display name and filetype only
-f: show only files of given type (if -t is given, DIRs are also shown)
-a: arrange--sort the listing according to the characters following '-a'.
If no characters follow, the listing is sorted alphabetically by
filename. The following sorting keys may be combined by listing the
most significant keys first. Capitalizing a letter reverses the order
of the sort on that key.
n: name (a to z)
m: modified date/time (newest to oldest)
f: filetype ($00 to $ff)
t: same as f
s: size in bytes (largest to smallest)
x: auxiliary type ($0000 to $ffff)
b: list files needing backup before files not needing backup
Examples:
cat -a
cat -an
arrange by name from a to z
cat -aN
arrange by name from z to a
cat -afX
arrange by increasing filetype and decreasing auxiliary type within
each filetype
Note that '-t' is ignored when '-a' is used.
