(synopsis "A single tool that combines @command{cat} & @command{rm}")
(description
"hungrycat prints the contents of a file to standard output, while
simultaneously freeing the disk space it occupied. It is useful if you need
to process a large file, don't have enough space to store both the input and
output files, and don't need the input file afterwards.
While similar in principle to running @command{cat} immediately followed by
@command{rm}, @command{hungrycat} actually frees blocks as soon as they are
printed instead of after the entire file has been read, which is often too
late.")
