.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\s-1GNU\s0 \fBparcat\fR reads files or fifos in parallel. It writes full lines
so there will be no problem with mixed-half-lines which you risk if
you use:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& (cat file1 & cat file2 &) | ...
.Ve
.PP
It is faster than doing:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& parallel \-j0 \-\-lb cat ::: file*
.Ve
.PP
Arguments can be given on the command line or passed in on stdin
(standard input).
.SH "OPTIONS"

.IP "\-\fB#\fR" 9

Arguments following this will be sent to the file descriptor \fB#\fR. E.g.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& parcat \-1 stdout1 stdout2 \-2 stderr1 stderr2
.Ve
.Sp
will send \fIstdout1\fR and \fIstdout2\fR to stdout (standard output = file
descriptor 1), and send \fIstderr1\fR and \fIstderr2\fR to stderr (standard
error = file descriptor 2).
.IP "\-\-rm" 9

Remove files after opening. As soon as the files are opened, unlink
the files.

\&\fBtraceroute\fR will often print half a line. If run in parallel, two
instances may half-lines of their output. This can be avoided by
saving the output to a fifo and then using \fBparcat\fR to read the two
fifos in parallel:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& mkfifo freenetproject.org.fifo tange.dk.fifo
\& traceroute freenetproject.org > freenetproject.org.fifo &
\& traceroute tange.dk > tange.dk.fifo &
