.TH P 1df "May 2017" "Manual page for p"
.SH NAME
.B p
\- print standard input to standard output
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B p
FILE1 [FILE2...]
.br
prog1 |
.B
p
.br
prog1 |
.B
p
FILE1 - FILE2
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B p
prints concatenated standard input from files to, and nothing else; cat(1) as
it always should have been--no flags, and hence no need for end-of-options for
filenames that start with a dash.
.P
Quicker to type, too.
.P
Still treats an "-" argument as a shorthand for "standard input" though,
because I like that and it's POSIX.
.SH SEE ALSO
