## 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.
