💖 UCAT(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands manual, section 1, and today's main character is ucat — yes, lowercase, yes, iconic ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ucat — unpack everything to standard output 🫶

like, everything. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ucat [OPTION]... [FILE]...

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options first if you want them, then a whole lineup of files 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ucat takes multiple files and uncompresses all of their contents straight out to STDOUT. 💅

so you just… point it at your compressed lil guys and it spills their insides right into your terminal / pipe / wherever you're sending it. group-chat energy: it does not gatekeep. 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -s — shows you the list of supported formats. it's giving "here's the menu, bestie" 🍓
  • -h — shows this help. the classic "help me help you" moment 🙈
  • -v — more verbosity, and it goes to STDERR. so you get the tea, but it stays out of your actual data stream, which is honestly so thoughtful 😭
  • --version — shows the tool version. flex check, lowkey 💀
