NAME
     tee - replicate the standard output

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/bin/tee
     /usr/bin/tee [ options ] [file...]
 
  ksh93
     tee [ options ] [file...]

DESCRIPTION
     tee copies standard input to standard output and to zero or
     more files. The options determine whether the specified files
     are overwritten or appended to. The tee utility does not
     buffer output. If writes to any file fail, writes to other
     files continue although tee will exit with a non-zero exit
     status.

     The number of file operands that can be specified is limited
     by the underlying operating system.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -a, --append    Append the standard input to the given files
                     rather than overwriting them.
     -i, --ignore-interrupts
                     Ignore SIGINT signal.
     -l, --linebuffer
                     Set the standard output to be line buffered
     --man, --html, --nroff
                     Prints builtin manual page in either plain
                     text, HTML or nroff format.
     --help          Prints basic help information
     --version       Prints version information


OPERANDS
     The following operands are supported:

     file     A path name of an output file.



USAGE
     See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of  tee
     when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2
    **31 bytes).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment
     variables  that  affect  the execution of tee: LANG, LC_ALL,
     LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, and NLSPATH.

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0        The standard input was successfully copied  to  all
              output files.



     >0       The number of files that could  not  be  opened  or
              whose status could not be obtained.
