cat [file1 [ file2 [...] ] ]- print text file(s) to stdout. if multiple files are given, their text is concatenated
- useful for starting a pipeline of commands from the contents of a text file
echo [args...]- print arguments to stdout
- useful for starting a pipeline of commands from a variable's value
- useful for printing output to the terminal from inside a script
sort<code>- read from stdin, sort lines, and write to stdout
- command options: -k, -t, -n, -g
- <code>cut<code>
- read from stdin and write selected columns to stdout.
