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 …

Installation

In Debian and for Debian based systems you will find it in the package moreutils, which can be installed with apt.

$ apt install moreutils
