In f544234 we removed the global flags from each command as it was
making each page very big and causing 1000s of lines of duplication in
the man page.
This change adds a new flags page with all the global flags on and
links each command page to it.
Fixes #3273

## rclone cat
|
|
|
|
Concatenates any files and sends them to stdout.
|
|
|
|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
rclone cat sends any files to standard output.
|
|
|
|
You can use it like this to output a single file
|
|
|
|
rclone cat remote:path/to/file
|
|
|
|
Or like this to output any file in dir or subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
rclone cat remote:path/to/dir
|
|
|
|
Or like this to output any .txt files in dir or subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
rclone --include "*.txt" cat remote:path/to/dir
|
|
|
|
Use the --head flag to print characters only at the start, --tail for
|
|
the end and --offset and --count to print a section in the middle.
|
|
Note that if offset is negative it will count from the end, so
|
|
--offset -1 --count 1 is equivalent to --tail 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
rclone cat remote:path [flags]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
--count int Only print N characters. (default -1)
|
|
--discard Discard the output instead of printing.
|
|
--head int Only print the first N characters.
|
|
-h, --help help for cat
|
|
--offset int Start printing at offset N (or from end if -ve).
|
|
--tail int Only print the last N characters.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
