      cat is actually used to concatenate files so if you have two files that you want to merge into a third one you can do

      cat file1 file2 > file3

      Especially useful for cracking old games

          I’ve used cat to actually concatenate files a lot to re-assemble old Wii games once they were copied to a SIM card, less than using it to see inside a file though. Maybe cracked isn’t the correct word I’m not English lol.

        the -delete option in find goes AFTER the expression.

        find -delete [whatever] will delete EVERYTHING in the current directory and below, like rm -rf *

          Huh. I wonder if GNU find should be modified, so that -delete only works when explicitly given a directory.

        This shouldnt do anything since you didn’t gave it a directory to start with.
