What is the difference between cat and merge command?
The 'merge' command is not standard in Unix, so not every system has it. The 'cat' command is standard in every Unix system. The 'cat' command merely echoes the contents of a file. It can be used to put together several files (concatenate). The 'merge' command (at least on Linux) merges changes from an original file to a modified (patched) file. It is considered a 3-way merge utility. Check the 'man' command for both and you will see the differences in the two commands.
