FAQ

Why?

Very occasionally I have the need to quote all lines in a file. I'm interested in learning Go and thought it'd be a fun tool to write.

Couldn't you just use something like awk '{ print "\""$0"\""}' FILE

Sure, but this is more fun.

Where does the name come frome?

qcat, short for "quote cat".
