tee
is shell command that copies data from standard input to one or more files in addition to standard output; duplicating the input to each output.[1] The name derives from the tee pipe fitting even though the tee
command duplicates the input into each output instead of dividing the input into portions for each output.[2] The command is often used with pipes and filters. Similar behaving commands are provided by many shells although syntax varies.
The command is provided in Unix and Unix-like systems, OS-9,[3] DOS (e.g. 4DOS, FreeDOS), Windows (e.g. 4NT, PowerShell, UnxUtils[4]), ReactOS[5] and IBM i.[6]
The Linux version was written by Mike Parker, Richard Stallman, and David MacKenzie.[7]
The FreeDOS version was developed by Jim Hall and is licensed under the GPL.[8]
Additionally the sponge
[9] command offers similar capabilities.
