__zcat__ is used for decompressing ".gz" zipped files and writing them to standard output. It behaves exactly as if you had typed "gzip -d -c" instead (-d decompresses, -c writes to stdout).
On most systems, zcat is a link to gzip, and gzip behaves differently based on what name it was executed as.
