TEE(1)

📦 version 1.053, in alpine 3.24

💅 tee(1) — pipe fitting, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation besties 💅

✨ NAME ✨

tee — pipe fitting. That’s the whole name, bestie, and it’s lowkey iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

tee [-ai] [file ...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: tee reads data from standard input, copying it to standard output and to any files given as arguments. Both places. Multi-tasking queen. If no file arguments are provided, tee behaves like the cat utility and copies only to standard output. Files are opened in write mode by default, and output is not buffered. Periodt.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

The following options are available:

  • -a — append output to the files instead of overwriting them. Preservation slay.
  • -i — ignore the SIGINT signal. It’s giving unbothered. 🫶

💖 EXIT STATUS 💖

tee exits 0 on success, and >0 to indicate an error. So if you get 0, she ate; anything above indicates an error. No cap.
