NAME
       tee -- duplicate	standard input

SYNOPSIS
       tee [-ai] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The tee utility copies standard input to	standard output, making	a copy
       in zero or more files.  The output is unbuffered.

       The following options are available:

       -a      Append the output to the	files rather than overwriting them.

       -i      Ignore the SIGINT signal.

       The following operands are available:

       file    A pathname of an	output file.

       The tee utility takes the default action	for all	signals, except	in the
       event of	the -i option.

       This  implementation of the tee utility may also	write to unix(4) sock-
       ets.

EXIT STATUS
       The tee utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an	error occurs.

EXAMPLES
       Send the	echoed message both to stdout and to the greetings.txt file:

	     $ echo "Hello" | tee greetings.txt
	     Hello

STANDARDS
       The tee utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 ("POSIX.2")  compati-
       ble.

HISTORY
       The tee command first appeared in Version 7 AT&T	UNIX.
