NAME
ptee - emulate the GNU tee program with Perl
SYNOPSIS
ptee [OPTIONS]... [FILENAMES]...
OPTIONS:
--append or -a
append to file(s) rather than overwrite
--help or -h
give usage information
--version or -V
print the version number of this program
DESCRIPTION
ptee
is a pure Perl emulation of the standard GNU tool tee
and is designed to be a platform independent replacement for operating systems without a native tee
program.
It passes input received on STDIN through to STDOUT while also writing a copy of the input to any files provided as arguments. By default, files will be overwritten, but this behavior may be altered with the --append
option.
Unlike tee
, ptee
does not support ignoring interrupts, as signal handling is not sufficiently portable.
