cat

[from `catenate' via Unix `cat(1)'] vt. 1. [techspeak]
To spew an entire file to the screen or some other output sink
without pause. 2. By extension, to dump large amounts of data at an
unprepared target or with no intention of browsing it carefully.
Usage: considered silly. Rare outside Unix sites. See also dd,
BLT.

Among Unix fans, `cat(1)' is considered an excellent example of
user-interface design, because it delivers the file contents without
such verbosity as spacing or headers between the files, and because
it does not require the files to consist of lines of text, but works
with any sort of data.

Among Unix haters, `cat(1)' is considered the canonical example
of _bad_ user-interface design, because of its woefully unobvious
name. It is far more often used to blast a file to standard
output than to concatenate two files. The name `cat' for the former
operation is just as unintuitive as, say, LISP's cdr.
