Print the contents of WAD files, including MAP-specific lumps (SECTORS, THINGS, LINEDEFS, SIDEDEFS, VERTEXES).
The situation is this: You download a WAD but don't know what is inside it (which map(s), etc.). wadcat can tell you.
$ wadcat -qm test.wad
MAP10
Or maybe you are doing a community project and want to replace the flat SLIME16, but don't know if anyone has used it. wadcat + grep can tell you.
$ wadcat -S maps.wad | grep SLIME16
Sector | Floor | Ceil | FTex | CTex | Light | Spc | Tag
68 | -4 | 128 | SLIME16 | CEIL3_5 | 160 | 0 | 0
71 | -4 | 80 | SLIME16 | DEM1_4 | 160 | 0 | 0
Or you want to know how many Chaingunners are in your map.
$ wadcat -t map.wad | cut -f5 -d\| | grep 65 | wc -l
18
And so on.
