        <para>
            This command functions much like the typical Unix "cat" command, in that it displays the contents of a file, or concatenates them given two or more files.  However, this command requires the user to specify a commit - a checksum or refspec corresponding to a given build.  If you use a refspec, OSTree will refer to the most recent commit, unless you specify a parent build using the carat (^) at the end of the refspec.  It will then operate the command in that given commit.
