    I would phrase it as, “What is ‘up’ and ‘dog?’” Being extra clear but ruining the joke.

    What is the opposite of a cat, then?

    If your answer is, “it doesn’t have one,” then I nominate dog.

        Schrodinger’s anti-matter cat. Put it in a box with regular cat. You won’t know if they annihilate each other until you open the box.

    tee isn’t exactly the opposite of cat but I can’t remember a command that only redirects screen output to a file.

    What is up, tee?

    edit: what’s the opposite of “cd …”?

      It prints to stdout. I’d say the opposite is read, which reads from stdin.

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

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

        So, split.

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

            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 :)

            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.
