2014-09-11 15:37:41 +01:00
`echo "example" | tee {{path/to/file}}`
2014-09-11 15:37:41 +01:00
- Append to the given files, do not overwrite:
2014-09-11 15:37:41 +01:00
`echo "example" | tee -a {{path/to/file}}`
- Print standard input to the terminal, and also pipe it into another program for further processing:
`echo "example" | tee {{/dev/tty}} | {{xargs printf "[%s]"}}`
- Create a directory called "example", count the number of characters in "example" and write "example" to the terminal:

`echo "example" | tee >(xargs mkdir) >(wc -c)`
