  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  tee 
 
  operating  system>  A  {Unix}  command  which  copies  its 
  {standard  input}  to  its  {standard  output}  (like  {cat})  but 
  also  to  a  file  given  as  its  argument.  tee  is  thus  useful  in 
  {pipeline}s  of  {Unix}  commands  (see  {plumbing})  where  it 
  allows  you  to  create  a  duplicate  copy  of  the  data  stream. 
  E.g. 
 
  egrep  Unix  Dictionary  |  tee  /dev/tty  |  wc  -l 
 
  searches  for  lines  containing  the  string  Unix"  in  the  file 
  "Dictionary",  prints  them  to  the  terminal  (/dev/tty)  and 
  counts  them 
 
  {Unix  manual  page}:  tee(1).
