grub: cat

 
 17.4.9 cat
 ----------
 
  -- Command: cat [--dos] file
      Display the contents of the file FILE.  This command may be useful
      to remind you of your OS's root partition:
 
           grub> cat /etc/fstab
 
      If the ‘--dos’ option is used, then carriage return / new line
      pairs will be displayed as a simple new line.  Otherwise, the
      carriage return will be displayed as a control character (‘<d>’) to
      make it easier to see when boot problems are caused by a file
      formatted using DOS-style line endings.
 
      Note: ‘cat’ can be used to view the contents of devices using the
      block list syntax (⇒Block list syntax).  However, it is not
      advised to view binary data because it will try to decode UTF-8
      strings, which can lead to some bytes missing or added in the
      output.  Instead, use the ‘hexdump’ command (⇒hexdump).
