cat

storage cat <path>

Stream an object’s bytes to stdout. No --out flag, no JSON mode — use shell redirection or pipes the same way you would with cat(1).

storage cat photos/cat.jpg > local.jpg
storage cat config.json | jq .
storage cat logs/2026-06-10.log | grep ERROR

A broken downstream pipe (e.g. storage cat foo | head) is treated as a clean termination, not an error — exit 0.

Flags

• --adapter <name> (required, or set STORAGE_ADAPTER).
• --snapshot <id> — scope the read into a snapshot.
• --fork <name> — scope the read into a fork.
