what is cat's use if not seeing whats inside a file?
It is short for concatenate, which is to join things together. You can give it multiple inputs and it will output each one directly following the previous. It so happens to also work with just one input.

It is to use along with
split
. e.g.split

to combine all files into the original file. (preferably accompanied by a checksum)Doesnt computers do this automatically if you try to copy over a file larger than its per file size limit?
No. It just gives an error that it's too big.
