Syntax
------
.. start-mc-cat-desc
The :mc:`mc cat` command concatenates the contents of a file or
object to another file or object. You can also use the command to
display the contents of the specified file or object to ``STDOUT``.
:mc:`~mc cat` has similar functionality to ``cat``.
.. end-mc-cat-desc
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: EXAMPLE
The following command concatenates the contents of an object on a
MinIO deployment to ``STDOUT``:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc cat play/mybucket/myobject.txt
.. tab-item:: SYNTAX
The :mc:`mc cat` command has the following syntax:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc [GLOBALFLAGS] cat \
ALIAS [ALIAS ...] \
[--enc-c "value"] \
[--offset "int"] \
[--part-number "int"] \
[--rewind] \
[--tail "int"] \
[--version-id "string"] \
[--zip]
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-mc.rst
:start-after: start-minio-syntax
:end-before: end-minio-syntax
You can also use :mc:`mc cat` against a local filesystem to produce similar results to the ``cat`` commandline tool.
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
.. mc-cmd:: ALIAS
:required:
The :ref:`alias <alias>` of a MinIO deployment and the full
path to the object. For example:
.. code-block:: shell
mc cat myminio/mybucket/myobject.txt
You can specify multiple objects on the same or different MinIO
deployment. For example:
.. code-block:: shell
mc cat myminio/mybucket/object.txt myminio/myotherbucket/object.txt
For an object on a local filesystem, specify the full path to that
object. For example:
.. code-block:: shell
mc cat ~/data/object.txt
.. block include of enc-c
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-sse.rst
:start-after: start-minio-mc-sse-c-only
:end-before: end-minio-mc-sse-options
.. mc-cmd:: --offset
:optional:
Specify an integer that is the number of bytes from which the command offsets the output.
Mutually exclusive with the :mc-cmd:`~mc cat --part-number` flag.
.. mc-cmd:: --part-number
:optional:
Download a specific part number of a multi-part upload.
Specify the integer of the part number to download.
Mutually exclusive with the :mc-cmd:`~mc cat --offset` and :mc-cmd:`~mc cat --tail` flags.
.. mc-cmd:: --rewind
:optional:
.. include:: /includes/facts-versioning.rst
:start-after: start-rewind-desc
:end-before: end-rewind-desc
.. mc-cmd:: --tail
:optional:
Specify an integer that is the number of bytes from which the command trims the output.
Mutually exclusive with the :mc-cmd:`~mc cat --part-number` flag.
.. mc-cmd:: --version-id, vid
:optional:
.. include:: /includes/facts-versioning.rst
:start-after: start-version-id-desc
:end-before: end-version-id-desc
.. mc-cmd:: --zip
:optional:
Extracts the contents from a zip file on the source to the remote.
Requires a MinIO deployment as the source ``ALIAS``.
Global Flags
~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. include:: /includes/common-minio-mc.rst
:start-after: start-minio-mc-globals
:end-before: end-minio-mc-globals
Examples
--------
View an S3 Object
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use :mc:`mc cat` to return the object:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc cat ALIAS/PATH
- Replace :mc-cmd:`ALIAS <mc cat ALIAS>` with the
:mc:`alias <mc alias>` of the S3-compatible host.
- Replace :mc-cmd:`PATH <mc cat ALIAS>` with the path to the object on the
S3-compatible host.
View an S3 Object at a Point-In-Time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use :mc-cmd:`mc cat --rewind` to return the object at a specific
point-in-time in the past:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc cat ALIAS/PATH --rewind DURATION
- Replace :mc-cmd:`ALIAS <mc cat ALIAS>` with the
:mc:`alias <mc alias>` of the S3-compatible host.
- Replace :mc-cmd:`PATH <mc cat ALIAS>` with the path to the object on the
S3-compatible host.
- Replace :mc-cmd:`DURATION <mc cat --rewind>` with the point-in-time in the past
at which the command returns the object. For example, specify ``30d`` to
return the version of the object 30 days prior to the current date.
.. include:: /includes/facts-versioning.rst
:start-after: start-versioning-admonition
:end-before: end-versioning-admonition
View an S3 Object with Specific Version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use :mc-cmd:`mc cat --version-id` to return a specific version of the
object:
.. code-block:: shell
mc cat ALIAS/PATH --version-id VERSION
- Replace :mc-cmd:`ALIAS <mc cat ALIAS>` with the
:mc:`alias <mc alias>` of the S3-compatible host.
- Replace :mc-cmd:`PATH <mc cat ALIAS>` with the path to the object on the
S3-compatible host.
- Replace :mc-cmd:`VERSION <mc cat --version-id>` with the specific version of the
object to return.
.. include:: /includes/facts-versioning.rst
:start-after: start-versioning-admonition
:end-before: end-versioning-admonition
Download a particular part
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use :mc-cmd:`mc cat --part-number` to download a particular part of a multi-part upload:
.. code-block:: shell
:class: copyable
mc cat ALIAS/PATH --part-number=#
- Replace :mc-cmd:`ALIAS <mc cat ALIAS>` with the :mc:`alias <mc alias>` of the S3-compatible host.
- Replace :mc-cmd:`PATH <mc cat ALIAS>` with the path to the object on the S3-compatible host.
- Replace ``#`` with the integer of the part number to download.
For example, to download part 3 of at 16-part multi-part file, use ``--part-number=3``.
You cannot use the ``--part-number`` flag if you are using either the ``--offset`` or the ``--tail`` flags.
