NAME

tee − read from standard input and write to standard output and files

SYNOPSIS

tee [−ai] [−−append] [−−ignore-interrupts] [−−help] [−−version] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the GNU version of tee.  The tee command copies the standard input to the standard output and any files given as arguments. 

If a file being written to does not already exist, it is created.  If a file being written to already exists, the data it previously contained is overwritten unless the −a option is used. 

OPTIONS

−a, −−append
Append the standard input to the given files rather than overwriting them.

−−help
Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.

−i, −−ignore-interrupts
Ignore interrupt signals.

−−version
Print version information on standard output then exit successfully.
