Cat:-
Using the cat command, we will be able to create the new
file as well as put the required ocntent inside the files
(CNTL+d to come out the file after putting the content). At
a time only one file can create.
Touch:-
Using this command, we can create the more than one file at
a time without inserting the content (So file size will be
always ZERO).
Example:
$cat > test11.js
$touch test1.ls test2.js test3.js
