Note

The native method listed here is for the legacy mongo shell.

cat(filename,useBinaryMode)

Returns the contents of the specified file. The method returns with output relative to the current shell session and does not impact the server.

Parameter	Type	Description
`filename`	string	The filepath to open. The filepath must be on the local file system.
`useBinaryMode`	boolean	Optional. Flag to determine whether to open file in binary mode or text mode. Applicable for Windows. Specify `true` to open the file in binary mode. On Windows, opening the file in binary mode leaves the character '\n' as is. Specify `false` to open the file in text mode. On Windows, opening the file in text mode converts the character '\n' to '\r\n'. The default value is `false`. New in version 4.0.5.
