Summary
Made this because noticed some commands are different on mac (what I use), but still need to study the commands on a Linux/Windows machine for my unix class
cat
- instead of -A (doesn’t exist on mac) use “vet”
- below is from stack exchange
I usecat -vet
In this order, it is easy for me to remember — my Mac cat needs a vet.
| option | desc |
|---|---|
| -v | <Display non-printing characters so they are visible. Control characters print as ‘^X’ for control-X; the delete character (octal 0177) prints as ‘^?’. Non-ASCII characters (with the high bit set) are printed as ‘M-’ (for meta) followed by the character for the low 7 bits. |
| -e | Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display a dollar sign (‘$’) at the end of each line. |
| -t | Display non-printing characters (see the -v option), and display tab characters as ‘^I’. |
