"tee" foldoc "The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)"

tee
     
         A Unix command which copies its
        standard input to its standard output (like cat) but
        also to a file given as its argument.  tee is thus useful in
        pipelines of Unix commands (see plumbing) where it
        allows you to create a duplicate copy of the data stream.
        E.g.
     
        	egrep Unix Dictionary | tee /dev/tty | wc -l
     
        searches for lines containing the string "Unix" in the file
        "Dictionary", prints them to the terminal (/dev/tty) and
        counts them.
     
        Unix manual page: tee(1).
