Overview

The following options are available:
-
-a -
Append the output to the files rather than overwriting them.
-
-i -
Ignore the SIGINT signal.
The following operands are available:
- file
-
A pathname of an output file.
The tee utility takes the default action for all signals, except in the event of the -i option.
Exit status
The tee utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
