The changes are as following:
(1) Remove unnecessary macros: e.g., .LP after .SS;
(2) Revamp Example 3:
a)
When standard input is a terminal, the following command gets two arbitrary pieces of input from the terminal with a single invocation of cat: example% cat start - middle - end > file when standard input is a terminal, gets two arbitrary pieces of input from the terminal with a single invocation of cat.
Remove the second duplicated "when standard input ....":
when standard input is a terminal, gets two arbitrary pieces of input from the terminal with a single invocation of cat.
b)
If standard input is a regular file, example% cat start - middle - end > file would be equivalent to the following command: cat start - middle /dev/null end > file
Add "example% " for second cat command:
...... would be equivalent to the following command: example% cat start - middle /dev/null end > file
c)
because the entire contents of the file would be consumed by cat the first time - was used as a file operand and an end-of-file condition would be detected immediately when -was referenced the second time.
There should be space between "-" and "was" in last sentence:
...... would be detected immediately when - was referenced the second time.
