NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

tee [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output.

append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite
ignore interrupt signals
operate in a more appropriate MODE with pipes.
set behavior on write error. See MODE below
display this help and exit
output version information and exit

MODE determines behavior with write errors on the outputs:

diagnose errors writing to any output
warn-nopipe
diagnose errors writing to any output not a pipe
exit on error writing to any output
exit-nopipe
exit on error writing to any output not a pipe

The default MODE for the -p option is 'warn-nopipe'. With "nopipe" MODEs, exit immediately if all outputs become broken pipes. The default operation when --output-error is not specified, is to exit immediately on error writing to a pipe, and diagnose errors writing to non pipe outputs.
