NAME

       peet - piped reverse tee: read from many file descriptors and copy to one

SYNOPSIS

       peet [-h] [-w outfd] infd1 [infd2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       peet  reads  from  many  file  descriptors  and  copies  everything  to  one file descriptor.  If no file
       descriptor is given ('-w' option), 1 (stdout) is used.

       peet is text line based - i.e. only complete lines are written.  The order of lines written to the output
       file  descriptor  is pure random when there is more then one file descriptor where a complete line can be
       read from.

       peet can be used with pipexec(1) to de-multiplex text based output.

OPTIONS

       -h     print help and version information

       -w outfd
              use the given outfd as output file descriptor.  If this option is not  specified,  1  (stdout)  is
              used.

EXAMPLES

       Read from stdin (fd 0), and file descriptors 9 and 11 and write to stdout.
           peet 0 9 11

       Using  pipexec(1):  start  two  commands,  both  write  their  log  to  stdout  and  use  one instance of
       rotatelogs(1) to write the logs to disk into a common log file: (The file descriptors 8 and 11 are chosen
       by random.)
           pipexec [ CMD1 /usr/bin/cmd1 ] [ CMD2 /usr/bin/cmd2 ] \
             [ PEET /usr/bin/peet 8 11 ] \
             [ RLOGS /usr/bin/rotatelogs /var/log/%Y%m%d_cmd.log ] \
             "{CMD1:1>PEET:8}" "{CMD2:1>PEET:11}" \
             "{PEET:1>RLOGS:0}"
