Hi RHEL Team,
I was working with cat command and testing its functionality. I learnt in one
of the manuals that if multiple files are specified, the contents of the files
are concatenated in the output, but line numbering is restarted at 1 for each
file. However in an experiment I found this not to be true.
[root@sai6 mayanktest]# ls -l aa bb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 May 29 17:15 aa
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22 May 29 17:18 bb
[root@sai6 mayanktest]# cat -b bb aa
1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e
6 f
7 g
8 h
9 i
10 j
11 1
12 2
13 3
14 4
15 5
Here, we can see that the numbering does not restarts with the new file
contents.
I look forward to your response.
Regards
Mayank
