# pee(1)

tee standard input to pipes

## NAME

pee - tee standard input to pipes

## SYNOPSIS

**pee**  \[--\[no-\]ignore-sigpipe\] \[--\[no-\]ignore-write-errors\] \[*"command"*...\]

## DESCRIPTION

**pee** is like **tee** but for pipes. Each command is run and fed a copy of the standard input. The output of all commands is sent to stdout.

Note that while this is similar to **tee**, a copy of the input is not sent to stdout, like tee does. If that is desired, use  **pee cat ...**

## OPTIONS

- FC**--ignore-sigpipe**F\[0\], FC**--no-ignore-sigpipe**F\[0\]

  Do (not) ignore SIGPIPE. Any command started by **pee** might cause a SIGPIPE when it exists. If you ignore SIGPIPE, you probably also want to ignore write errors (see below). Ignoring SIGPIPE is the default behaviour.

- FC**--ignore-write-errors**F\[0\], FC**--no-ignore-write-errors**F\[0\]

  Do (not) ignore write errors. When a command started by **pee** is no more accepting data via the pipe between itself and **pee**, a write error occurs in **pee**. If this error is not ignored, **pee** is going to terminate all child processes and exists. Ignoring write errors is the default behaviour.
