Tips & Precautions
The similarly named 'tee' command is a useful utility that reads from standard input (stdin) and writes to standard output (stdout) while simultaneously writing to one or more files. The '-a' option is used to append content to a file.
Suggestions for Correct Command Usage
Instead of 'tee-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a', use the 'tee' command with the correct options.
- To append content to a file, use `tee -a [filename]`.
- To create a new file or overwrite an existing one, use `tee [filename]`.
- To write to multiple files simultaneously, use `tee [file1] [file2]`.
Correct Usage Example of 'tee -a'
echo "New content" | tee -a my_file.txt
cat my_file.txtThe following is the correct way to append text to a file using the 'tee' command.
