  pcat

  NAME

    pcat - unpack and concatenate files

  SYNOPSIS

    pcat file ...

  DESCRIPTION

    The pcat(1) utility unpacks files that were compressed by pack(1), and
    then writes the result to standard output.

    Each file is expected to be a file compressed by pack(1); the file operand
    need not include the .z suffix.

    The pcat(1) utility will not unpack a file if the file does not appear to
    have been packed by pack(1), or if the file cannot be opened.

    Use the -f option to force decompression.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    The pcat(1) utility exits with 0 for success and >0 if an error occurred.

  NOTES

    The pcat(1) utility is a link to the gunzip(1) command.
