NAME
       tee  - read from standard input and write to standard out-

SYNOPSIS
       tee  [-ai]   [--append]   [--ignore-interrupts]   [--help]
       [--version] [file...]

DESCRIPTION
       This  documentation  is no longer being maintained and may
       be inaccurate or incomplete.  The Texinfo documentation is
       now the authoritative source.

       This  manual  page  documents the GNU version of tee.  The
       tee command copies the standard input to the standard out-
       put and any files given as arguments.

       If  a  file being written to does not already exist, it is
       created.  If a file being written to already  exists,  the
       data  it previously contained is overwritten unless the -a
       option is used.

   OPTIONS
       -a, --append
              Append the standard input to the given files rather
              than overwriting them.

       --help Print  a  usage message on standard output and exit
              successfully.

       -i, --ignore-interrupts
              Ignore interrupt signals.

       --version
              Print version information on standard  output  then
              exit successfully.
