tee - replicate the standard output
/usr/bin/tee [-ai] [file]...
tee [-ail] [file]...
/usr/bin/tee copies standard input to standard output, making a copy in zero or more files. tee does not buffer its output. The options determine if the specified files are overwritten or appended to.
The tee built-in in ksh93 is associated with the /bin and /usr/bin paths. It is invoked when tee is executed without a pathname prefix and the pathname search finds a /bin/tee or /usr/bin/tee executable.
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 a write to a file fails, tee continues to write to other files although it exits with a non-zero exit status.
The number of file operands that can be specified is limited by the underlying operating system.
The following options are supported by /usr/bin/tee:
-a
-i
The following options are supported by the tee built-in command in ksh93:
-a
--append
-i
--ignore-interrupts
-l
