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.
