The CAT and CAT WITH FILTER commands allow a user to output the content of the device
buffer to the screen. This allows a user to capture the contents of a device buffer by using the
telnet client/terminal emulation software’s texr capture capabilities.
CAT outputs the data in the buffer exactly as it was received without any additional formatting.
CAF outputs the data in the buffer by applying the same formatting that is used by the
TOP,
BOTTOM, NEXT, and PREVIOUS type commands. Characters are counted and a <CR><LF> is
added after 80 characters if one is not found in the data. Due to the counting, escape
sequences may not be preserved. Tabs are considered one character.
