SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

16       This  command  joins  each  of its arguments together with spaces after
17       trimming leading and trailing white-space from each of  them.   If  all
18       the arguments are lists, this has the same effect as concatenating them
19       into a single list.  It permits any number of arguments; if no args are
20       supplied, the result is an empty string.
21

EXAMPLES

23       Although  concat will concatenate lists, flattening them in the process
24       (so giving the following interactive session):
25
26              % concat a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
27              a b c d e f {g h}
28
29       it will also concatenate things that are not lists, as can be seen from
30       this session:
31
32              % concat " a b {c   " d "  e} f"
33              a b {c d e} f
34
35       Note also that the concatenation does not remove spaces from the middle
36       of values, as can be seen here:
37
38              % concat "a   b   c" { d e f }
39              a   b   c d e f
40
41       (i.e., there are three spaces between each of the a, the b and the c).
