.Sh NAME
.Nm bsdcat
.Nd expand files to standard output
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op options
.Op files
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
expands files to standard output.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Nm
typically takes a filename as an argument or reads standard input when used in a
pipe.
In both cases decompressed data it written to standard output.
.Sh EXAMPLES
To decompress a file:
.Pp
.Dl bsdcat example.txt.gz > example.txt
.Pp
To decompress standard input in a pipe:
.Pp
.Dl cat example.txt.gz | bsdcat > example.txt

Both examples achieve the same results - a decompressed file by redirecting
output.
