There is very little consistency among all of the Documentation/ files (hopefully there is some consistency within any one file). I found many of: a. using a prompt, e.g.: $ cat /dev/input/mouse b. using backquotes: `cat /dev/input/mouse` c. using double quotes: "cat /dev/input/mouse" d. using a colon: type (or enter): cat /dev/input/mouse > Both are fine with me.
