{{TYPE command}}



	Display a text file.



{{Synopsis}}



${TYPE [file ...]}



	Display a text file.



		- {file ...} : A list of files to display. File names may be

		{spec/regexp|regular expressions}. If a file name does not

		refer to an existing file, the command stop and display an

		error message. If the file name refers to a directory,

		then, they will not be displayed.

		

		@- If no file has been specifed, then the {TYPE} command does

		not return an error (although {cmd.exe} does) and read its input

		from the standard input.



	In spite of {cmd.exe}'s behaviour, Dos9 only display the

	file name prior to the file content if various files are to be displayed

	(cmd.exe displays it also when only one file matches a regular expression).

	File names are sent to standard error output, enabling them to be removed

	easily from the output using {spec/red|redirections}.

		

	Displaying a binary file directly to the terminal is unspecified behaviour.

	To view the content of such files, the use of {dump|DUMP} should be

	preferred. If the output of {TYPE} is {spec/red|redirected}, then it is

	possible to print binary files safely.



	On Unix-based platforms, it is not possible to display the content of

	directories even though directories are actually files as {TYPE}

	filters them.



{{Compatibility}}



	Available since revision {0.4}.



	Fully compatible with {cmd.exe}.
