Re: cat: invalid option -- h

Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply. I think -h is almost exclusivly used for help normally. I noticed that some UNIX machines output cat --help on stderr, I think the current approach of printing on stdout is more useful. Is this a common GNU style to use stdout instead of stderr? Regards JG Jim
