    cat is for concatenating files, so the opposite would be something that breaks a stream up into multiple files.

      So, split.

      Edit: although there’s also tac, which could fit the bill as well.

          Heh, no, but they do have a nice set of man pages and other documentation online. I prefer NixOS. Easier keeping track of configuration, easier rolling back of (and experimentation with) new stuff.

          I mean… it’s nice that it exists and all, but I can’t really think of many useful usecases.

            I think I only ever used it in an intro to shell scripting where we (almost) recreated the function of tail

              Something like tac | head | tac, I guess? Yes, that’s a valid use case indeed :)

      tac is a real command and does exactly what you think it is
