bsdcat — expand files to standard output

bsdcat expands files to standard output.

       To decompress a file:

             bsdcatexample.txt.gz>example.txt

       To decompress standard input in a pipe:

             catexample.txt.gz | bsdcat>example.txt

       Both examples achieve the same results - a decompressed file by redirecting output.

       bsdcat — expand files to standard output

bsdcat  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.
