NAME

       funnel - split one pipe stream to one or more files or programs

SYNOPSIS

       funnel [|] [>[>]file] [|process]

DESCRIPTION

       The funnel program will read data from standard input and write it to several output streams.

       The | symbol means to copy standard input to standard output.

       The  >  symbol  means  that  a  file name immediately follows with no separating spaces, the file will be
       truncated if it exists or created if it doesn't. The >> means that the file is to be appended  to  if  it
       exists.

       A  |  symbol followed immediately by text indicates a command that is to be run by system() and will have
       all input piped to it.

EXIT STATUS

       0 No errors

       1 Error opening input

       Other errors are 100 + number of commands or files that fail

AUTHOR

       This  program,  its  manual  page,   and   the   Debian   package   were   written   by   Russell   Coker
       <russell@coker.com.au>.

FEATURES

       Uses  popen (3) for output so that shell expansion gets performed.  If you want such shell expansion then
       you must ensure that you quote the parameters correctly so that they get expanded by popen  (3)  not  the
       shell that calls funnel.
