Everything about Tee (command)
Shell command that copies standard input to standard output and to one or more files
tee is a shell command that copies data from standard input to one or more files in addition to standard output, duplicating the input to each output. 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. The command is often used with pipes and filters. Similar behaving commands are provided by many shells although syntax varies. Wikipedia →
