NAME

       ptee - piped tee: read from one file descriptor and copy to many

SYNOPSIS

       ptee [-h] [-r infd] outfd1 [outfd2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       ptee reads from one file descriptor (0 / stdin by default) and copies everything to all given output file
       descriptors.  ptee is a piped version of tee(1).

       ptee can be used with pipexec(1) to fit the output of one command into many other commands.

OPTIONS

       -h     print help and version information

       -r infd
              use the given infd as input file descriptor.  If this is not specified, 0 (stdin) is used.

EXAMPLES

       Duplicate all data from stdin to stdout, stderr and fd 7:
           ptee 1 2 7

       The command
           tee output.txt
       is equivalent to the shell command
           ptee 5 5>output.txt

       Using pipexec(1): count all files in the file system and  additionally  count  only  those  that  have  a
       uppercase  'A'  in  their  name.   The  file  system  will  be scanned only once.  No temporary files are
       generated.
           pipexec [ LS /bin/ls -R / ] [ PTEE /usr/bin/ptee 3 4 ] \
             [ WC1 /usr/bin/wc -l ] [ GREP /bin/grep A ] \
             [ WC2 /usr/bin/wc -l ] "{LS:1>PTEE:0}" "{PTEE:3>WC1:0}" \
             "{PTEE:4>GREP:0}" "{GREP:1>WC2:0}"
