NAME
    gcloud storage cat - outputs the contents of one or more URLs to stdout

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud storage cat URL [URL ...] [--additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE]
        [--display-url, -d] [--range=RANGE, -r RANGE]
        [--decryption-keys=[DECRYPTION_KEY,...]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    The cat command outputs the contents of one or more URLs to stdout. While
    the cat command does not compute a checksum, it is otherwise equivalent to
    doing:

        $ gcloud storage cp url... -

    (The final '-' causes gcloud to stream the output to stdout.)

EXAMPLES
    The following command writes all text files in a bucket to stdout:

        $ gcloud storage cat gs://bucket/*.txt

    The following command outputs a short header describing file.txt, along
    with its contents:

        $ gcloud storage cat -d gs://my-bucket/file.txt

    The following command outputs bytes 256-939 of file.txt:

        $ gcloud storage cat -r 256-939 gs://my-bucket/file.txt

    The following command outputs the last 5 bytes of file.txt:

        $ gcloud storage cat -r -5 gs://my-bucket/file.txt

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     URL [URL ...]
        The url of objects to list.

FLAGS
     --additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE
        Includes arbitrary headers in storage API calls. Accepts a comma
        separated list of key=value pairs, e.g. header1=value1,header2=value2.
        Overrides the default storage/additional_headers property value for
        this command invocation.

     --display-url, -d
        Prints the header before each object.

     --range=RANGE, -r RANGE
        Causes gcloud storage to output just the specified byte range of the
        object. In a case where "start" = 'x', and "end" = 'y', ranges take the
        form: x-y (e.g., -r 256-5939), x- (e.g., -r 256-), -y (e.g., -r -5)

        When offsets start at 0, x-y means to return bytes x through y
        (inclusive), x- means to return bytes x through the end of the object,
        and -y changes the role of y. If -y is present, then it returns the
        last y bytes of the object.

        If the bytes are out of range of the object, then nothing is printed

ENCRYPTION FLAGS
     --decryption-keys=[DECRYPTION_KEY,...]
        A comma-separated list of customer-supplied encryption keys (RFC 4648
        section 4 base64-encoded AES256 strings) that will be used to decrypt
        Cloud Storage objects. Data encrypted with a customer-managed
        encryption key (CMEK) is decrypted automatically, so CMEKs do not need
        to be listed here.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
    --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
    This variant is also available:

        $ gcloud alpha storage cat
