Are there other `cat` options?

That's a great question! Yes, cat has several other useful options besides -n.

Here are a few common ones:

• -b or --number-nonblank: Numbers all non-blank output lines, similar to -n but it skips empty lines.
• -s or --squeeze-blank: Squeezes multiple adjacent blank lines into a single blank line. This is handy for cleaning up files with excessive empty lines.
• -E or --show-ends: Displays a $ at the end of each line. This can be useful for debugging and seeing hidden spaces.
• -T or --show-tabs: Displays ^I for TAB characters. Also useful for debugging formatting issues.
• -v or --show-nonprinting: Displays non-printing characters (other than TAB and end of line) using ^ and M- notation.

You can learn more about cat and all its options by typing man cat in your terminal. This will bring up the manual page for the command.
