cat

In PowerShell, this command may be an alias of Get-Content when the original cat program (part of coreutils) is not properly installed. More information: https://learn.microsoft.com/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-content.

  • View documentation for the original cat command:

tldr cat {{[-p|--platform]}} common

  • View documentation for PowerShell's Get-Content command:

tldr get-content

  • Check whether cat is properly installed by printing its version number. If this command evaluates into an error, PowerShell may have substituted this command with Get-Content:

cat --version
