NAME
Tee - pipe fitting
SYNOPSIS
Tee [-a | APPEND] <File> [...]
REQUIREMENTS
The ARP library
DESCRIPTION
Tee copies the standard input to the standard output while making
copies of it into one or more files. The -a or APPEND switch makes
Tee append to old files instead of creating new files. If a target
file does not exist, and -a has been selected, it will be created.
EXAMPLES
prompt> Tee T:keys | QueryingTool
prompt> QueryingTool <T:keys | Tee T:log
This saves keystrokes destined for a CLI tool to a file, and
reuses them whilst making a reference copy of the output.
BUGS/LIMITATIONS
-Use the end-of-file control key specific to your shell to terminate
if you run Tee as the first part of your pipe-command line.
-Tee was modelled after one of the Unix-alike utilities distributed
in a uusenet posting by David Gay. Tiny-Tee's functionality differs
from that version in 3 ways:
1. The -a switch can be substituted by an equivalent switch, namely
'APPEND'.
2. The ARP template needs switches to be specified after multiargs,
still you may place the -a switch anywhere in the command line,
thus it is up to you to preserve the Unix syntax (-a in front).
3. David's Tee version does not seem to want to process non-ascii
byte streams (this might be as intended). Tiny-Tee copies every
byte you feed into it.
