    Man = manual. Not sure what cat stands for but it prints the content of a file to the terminal (command line).

      I believe it stands for concatenate.

        Right, I always forget it can do more than just print file contents. Well, not planning on remembering it tomorrow.

          cat file1 file2 > file3 => the contents of both file1 and file2 concatenating their contents into file3
