The commands that view and find file file filters are used to read file content and execute operations on file contents are sometimes referred to as 1Y filters. The SED and AWK commands are examples of two filters because they have their detailed discussions in the previous OTN articles, which will be slightly here. Commands such as Cat, More, and Less allow you to view the contents of a text file from the command line without calling the editor. CAT is an abbreviation of 'Concatenate', which will display file content by default on the standard output (display). One of the most interesting options provided with CAT is the -n option, which displays the file content with the number output line. $ Cat -n test.out 1 this is a test. Because of all lines in the Cat in a single output file, you may prefer to use more and less because they output a screen content. Less is an enhanced version of more that allows you to enhance files with a key command from the VI text editor. For example, D forward is rolled forward, and B is turned backwards (if N is specified before D or B). The value of N-input becomes the default value of the subsequent D command. The MAN page utility uses LESS to display the contents of the instructions. Redirection and Pipe Redirection Allows the command output to redirect to the file, rather than standard output, or similarly, or redirect input.
