💖 TEE(1plan9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to section 1 of the Plan 9 manual, and today's main character is tee — the pipe fitting of your dreams. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

tee — pipe fitting

like… it's a pipe fitting. that's the whole vibe. 🌈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

tee [ -i ] [ -a ] files

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, literally 🍓: tee transcribes the standard input to the standard output and makes copies in the files. yes bestie, it does both at once. it's giving multitasking icon. 💅

the options are:

  • -i — ignore interrupts. like, don't even perceive them. not me, not the interrupts, we're not doing that. 🙈
  • -a — append the output to the files rather than rewriting them. so instead of yeeting what's already there, it just adds more. lowkey polite of it. ✨

✨ SOURCE ✨

/src/cmd/tee.c

go read the source if you want, it's right there, slay. 👑

fr fr, that's the whole page. tee = copy stdin to stdout AND to files, -i ignores interrupts, -a appends instead of rewriting. iconic behaviour only.

and that's a wrap on TEE(1plan9), straight outta section 1 of the Plan 9 manual — same title, same manual, top and bottom, we love a symmetrical moment 🎀💖 bye bestie, go pipe something ✨
