- USAGE
-
- CAT is a similar tool to the standard TYPE command, but
- it can search for files through a directory structure and
- from multiple volumes.
-
- Dy default CAT display files only on the current
- directory. With the /S option you can search through the
- three hierarchy starting from current directory.
-
- You can list at the beginning of the command line drives
- and/or directories and CAT will start its search from
- these places. E.g. cat c: d:\source *.c *.h /S, would
- display all *.c and *.h-files from c:-drives current
- directory and d:-drices \source-directory and below.
-
- You can also include attributes in the search criteria.
- By default CAT finds files with no bits, attribute bit
- and/or readonly bit set. You can specify other file
- attributes with the +-options. The /NOD (=NO Default)-
- switch will turn off default finding rules and you can
- the explicitly set the file types you want to find - e.g.
- 'CAT /NOD +H *.*' would display only files with the
- hidden bit on and no other bits on.
-
- With the /P option, CAT will pause after each screenful.
