  32. .Nd expand files to standard output
  33. .Sh SYNOPSIS
  34. .Nm

  37. .Sh DESCRIPTION
  38. .Nm
  39. expands files to standard output.
  40. .Sh OPTIONS
  41. .Nm
  42. typically takes a filename as an argument or reads standard input when used in a
  43. pipe.
  44. In both cases decompressed data it written to standard output.
  45. .Sh EXAMPLES
  46. To decompress a file:
  47. .Pp
  48. .Dl bsdcat example.txt.gz > example.txt
  49. .Pp
  50. To decompress standard input in a pipe:
  51. .Pp
  52. .Dl cat example.txt.gz | bsdcat > example.txt
  53. .Pp
  54. Both examples achieve the same results - a decompressed file by redirecting
  55. output.
