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.
