libreoffice: Display the content of specific files.
$ libreoffice --cat ${filename1} ${filename2}
try on your machine

The command "libreoffice --cat ${filename1} ${filename2}" is being used in the LibreOffice software suite to concatenate or merge the contents of two files, named ${filename1} and ${filename2}.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  1. "libreoffice": This is the command to execute the LibreOffice software suite.

  2. "--cat": The "--cat" option is used to specify the concatenation or merging operation in LibreOffice. It tells LibreOffice to concatenate the content of the specified files.

  3. "${filename1}": This is a placeholder for the name of the first file. You need to replace "${filename1}" with the actual name or path of the first file you want to concatenate.

  4. "${filename2}": Similarly, this is a placeholder for the name of the second file. Replace "${filename2}" with the actual name or path of the second file you want to concatenate.

Putting it all together, the command instructs LibreOffice to concatenate the content of ${filename1} and ${filename2}.
