Displaying the Contents of a File
Use the
type
command to display the contents of a file. Before displaying a file,
you can enable the
more
function to display the file one screen at a time.
Enter the following to display a file:
type
[
-x
] <filename>
-x
is an optional command to display the file in hexadecimal format. This allows
files containing nonprintable information to be viewed.
<filename> is the name of the file you are displaying.
The file is displayed in the same format in which it is stored (provided that you do
not enter the
-x
argument): binary for log files and ASCII for alias files. Log files
are stored in binary format; use the
log
command described in “Logging and
Displaying Event Messages” in Chapter 6 to display a log file in ASCII format.
Examples:
type install.bat
Displays the contents of the
install.bat
file
type -x config
Displays the
config
file in hexadecimal format
