In Unix there is a "man" command and a "cat" command...

so why no "dog" command???

Well, I have no idea what the commands do but I still enjoyed the joke.

Man = manual. Not sure what cat stands for but it prints the content of a file to the terminal (command line).

Right, I always forget it can do more than just print file contents. Well, not planning on remembering it tomorrow.

cat file1 file2 > file3 => the contents of both file1 and file2 concatenating their contents into file3
