DESCRIPTION

The tee command reads standard input and writes the output of a program to
standard output and copies it into file at the same time.

FLAGS

-a Adds the output to the end of file instead of writing over it.

-i Ignores interrupts.

Note:  If you specify both flags, each must appear separately on the command
       line, preceded by a -. (minus).

EXAMPLES

  1. To view and save the output from a command at the same time:

      lint  program.c  |  tee  program.lint

    This displays the standard output of the command "lint program.c" at the
    work station, and at the same time saves a copy of it in the file
    "program.lint".  If "program.lint" already exists, it is deleted and
    replaced.

  2. To display and append to a file:

      lint  program.c  |  tee  -a   program.lint

    This displays the standard output of "lint program.c" at the work station
    and at the same time appends a copy of it to the end of "program.lint".  If
    the file "program.lint" does not exist, it is created.
