tee(1) User Commands tee(1)NAMEtee - replicate the standard output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/tee
/usr/bin/tee [-options] [file...]
ksh93
tee [-options] [file...]
DESCRIPTIONtee 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.
This command conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Appends the output to the files rather than
--append overwriting them.
-i Ignores SIGINT signal.
--ignore-interrupts
-l Sets the standard output to be line buffered.
--line-buffer
--help Prints basic help information.
--man Prints built-in manual page in either plain
--html text, HTML or nroff format.
--nroff
--version Prints version information.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file A path name of an output file.

that affect the execution of tee: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES,
