svn_error_t* svn_client_cat3	(	apr_hash_t **	props,
		svn_stream_t *	out,
		const char *	path_or_url,
		const svn_opt_revision_t *	peg_revision,

		apr_pool_t *	result_pool,
		apr_pool_t *	scratch_pool
	)

Output the content of a file.

Parameters:

[out]	props	Optional output argument to obtain properties.
[in]	out	The stream to which the content will be written.
[in]	path_or_url	The path or URL of the file.
[in]	peg_revision	The peg revision.
[in]	revision	The operative revision.
[in]	expand_keywords	When true, keywords (when set) are expanded.
[in]	ctx	The standard client context, used for possible authentication.

Returns:

A pointer to an svn_error_t of the type (this list is not exhaustive):
An unspecified error if revision is of kind svn_opt_revision_previous (or some other kind that requires a local path), because the desired revision cannot be determined.
If no error occurred, return SVN_NO_ERROR.

If *props is not NULL it is set to a hash of all the file's non-inherited properties. If it is NULL, the properties are only used for determining how and if the file should be translated.
