RevisionDateAuthorComments
 1.41  02-Oct-2017  wiz branches: 1.41.4;
Add cross reference to tac(1).
 1.40  04-Jul-2017  wiz Use Ex.
 1.39  03-Jul-2017  wiz Remove workaround for ancient HTML generation code.
 1.38  15-Jun-2014  wiz Bump date for previous.
 1.37  15-Jun-2014  dbj update list of flags which are extensions to the specification
 1.36  10-Nov-2012  wiz branches: 1.36.8;
Sort options (no-argument ones first, then argument-taking ones).
 1.35  10-Nov-2012  christos Add an option to read with a different buffer size, and document the
buffer size we use. This allows us to cat -B 10000000 /proc/<pid>/maps
for example which cannot handle seeking.
 1.34  09-Aug-2012  dholland branches: 1.34.2;
Use "e.g.", not "i.e.", to introduce an example.
 1.33  06-Apr-2012  wiz Describe behaviour when no arguments are given.
Add comma.
Bump date.

From Bug Hunting.
 1.32  23-Sep-2006  wiz branches: 1.32.40;
Use macro for HTML output.
 1.31  23-Sep-2006  elad PR/16827: Giorgos Keramidas: addition of EXAMPLES section to
basesrc/bin/cat.1
Applied patch, thanks!
 1.30  27-Aug-2003  junyoung Add missing "."
 1.29  07-Aug-2003  agc Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22249, verified by myself.
 1.28  25-Sep-2002  wiz New policy: New sentences start on a new line.
Patches by Robert Elz <kre at munnari oz au>, with minimal changes by me.
 1.27  03-Jul-2002  enami The el option is an extention.
 1.26  10-Jun-2002  mason Add -l option to cat(1), as discussed on tech-userlevel. This option
causes cat(1) to use fcntl(2) to set an exclusive advisory lock on stdout.
While being useful in its own right, this will shortly be used to
guarantee orderly writing to METALOG in the case of unprivileged builds
with NBUILDJOBS > 1.
 1.25  15-May-2002  kleink branches: 1.25.2;
Consistent wording: `regular' files, not `plain' ones; from Giorgos
Keramidas in PR bin/16824.
 1.24  08-Feb-2002  ross Generate <>& symbolically. I'm avoiding .../dist/... directories for now.
 1.23  20-Dec-2001  wiz Sort sections, drop unnecessary .Pps.
 1.22  20-Dec-2001  wiz Whitespace nits.
 1.21  04-Sep-2000  kleink For commands and utilities, use EXIT STATUS rather than RETURN VALUES as
appropriate (and documented in mdoc(7)).
 1.20  28-Aug-2000  hubertf Add 'RETURN VALUE' section header.
 1.19  02-Aug-2000  jwise Use .At v1 macro instead of spelling out AT&T Unix version 1.
 1.18  15-Jan-2000  christos branches: 1.18.4;
Add a -f fflag that makes sure that we only try to read from plain files
so that there is no chance to block.
 1.17  09-Jan-2000  abs Slightly modified small fixes from Richard Rauch in PR bin/9150
 1.16  22-Mar-1999  garbled More and more .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Many more to
come.
 1.15  11-Mar-1999  fair Patch from PR#5156 to adjust buffer size to match filesystem block size
when "-u" option used, plus some additional documentation.
 1.14  28-Apr-1998  fair Change occurrences of "UNIX" to .Ux or .At as appropriate.
 1.13  20-Oct-1997  enami Fix .Nm usage.
 1.12  27-Sep-1995  cgd kill an extr space in a (literally-printed) example
 1.11  07-Sep-1995  jtc Sync with 4.4lite2
 1.10  25-Jul-1995  jtc Use "utility" instead of "command". Modern definitions of these terms
are distinct (See POSIX.2 glossary).

A utility is a executable, script or shell builtin; while a command
can be any of those things plus lists, pipelines, compound commands
(if, for, while) and shell function definitions.
 1.9  21-Mar-1995  cgd convert to new RCS id conventions.
 1.8  04-Nov-1994  cgd bugs don't get any dumber than this.

 1.6  30-Nov-1993  jtc Use ".At v6" macro instead of spelling out "Version 6 AT&T UNIX".
 1.5  16-Aug-1993  jtc Document the fact that cat is a superset of 1003.2's cat.
 1.4  01-Aug-1993  mycroft Add RCS indentifiers.
 1.3  23-Mar-1993  cgd changed "Id" to "Header" for rcsids
 1.2  22-Mar-1993  cgd added rcs ids to all files
 1.1  21-Mar-1993  cgd branches: 1.1.1;
