Tee in Text Processing
tee is a widely used command in Linux systems, falling under the category of text processing tools. It performs a dual function: the command reads from the standard input and writes to standard output and files. This operation gets its name from the T-splitter in plumbing, which splits the flow into two directions, paralleling the function of the tee command.
The basic syntax of tee under text processing in Linux is:
command | tee file
In this construction command represents the command from which tee reads the output, and file signifies the file where tee writes the output. It’s an extremely useful command for users who want to document their terminal undertakings as it enables both reviewing the result in the terminal and storing the output in the file simultaneously.
