the cat command is used to create and append info to the
files. by using the cat>file.c we create the file file.c.

old info and place the new info onto the file file.c.

Answer / manikya girish
if we consider the command as cat > file.c
If we run this command the user gets back the control and he
needs to type something and once done, hit Ctrl+C to come
out of the scope. Whatever you have typed after executing
the command will be there in the file file.c

Answer / rohit
First of all it is 'cat' command '$' is representing the
shell on which this command will be executed.
After execution of this command the system will expect you
to type in the contents of the file and then press the Ctrl-
d to terminate. The text you typed in will be stored in
file.c file.
