From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  tee
       
           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).
