> Key: KARAF-754
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-754
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Bug

> According to the help for shell:cat, the - is supposed to activate cat for STDIN (just as the Linux cat command does). However, the hyphen is being used as an argument parsing flag and hence isn't working:
> karaf@root> cat --help
> DESCRIPTION
> shell:cat
> Displays the content of a file or URL.
> SYNTAX
> shell:cat [options] paths or urls
> ARGUMENTS
> paths or urls
> A list of file paths or urls to display separated by whitespaces
> (use - for STDIN)
> OPTIONS
> --help Display this help message
> -n The number the output lines, starting at 1.
> karaf@root> shell:cat -
> Error executing command shell:cat undefined option -
> It may be sufficient to remove the STDIN option from the cat command, I'm not sure how useful STDIN is within an OSGi command-line prompt anyway.
