Package: moreutils
Version: 0.7
Severity: normal
Says in 'man pee'**:
% man pee | grep -B 1 -n it
12- pee is like tee but for pipes. Each command is run and standard
input
13: is copied into it, as well as being sent to stdout.
In line #13 it's not clear which noun the pronoun "it" signifies:
1) (each) command
2) standard input
3) none of the above
(**surely one of the more indecent invocations in Linux.)
I know how to use 'tee', but it's hard to understand from the above
what 'pee' does. Perhaps the manual needs a few examples.
Hope this helps...
