tee
command transcribes the standard input to the standard output

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LC_MESSAGES
determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If
LC_MESSAGES
is not specified in the environment or is set to
the empty string, the value of
LANG
is used as a default for each
unspecified or empty variable.
If
LANG
is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see
lang(5))
is used instead of
LANG.
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
tee
behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".
See
environ(5).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multibyte character code sets are supported.
RETURN VALUE
The
tee
command returns zero upon successful completion,
or nonzero if the command fails.
