Portable Unix shell command 'tee', with some extras - read from standard input and write to standard output and files
npm install nteePortable Unix shell command tee, with some extras — read from standard input and write to standard output and files.
gulp.dest() in middle of a pipe? NPM scripts can do as well:
``json`
{
"scripts": {
"less": "lessc main.less | postcss --use autoprefixer | ntee main.css | cleancss > main.min.css"
}
}
`shell`
$ npm install -g ntee
`shell`
$ ntee --help
`
Usage:
ntee [OPTION]... FILE...
Copy standard input to each FILE, and also to standard output.
Options:
-a, --append append to the given FILEs, do not overwrite
-i, --ignore-interrupts ignore interrupt signals
-s, --suppress do not output to stdout
-v, --version display the current version
-h, --help display help and usage details
`
`shell`
$ whoami | ntee file1.txt file2.txt
Will print current user to stdout and also to file1.txt and file2.txt. Note that if these files already exist, they will be overwritten. Use -a/--append to avoid it, just like you would do with Richard Stallman's tee:
`shell`
$ whoami | ntee -a i-wont-be-overwritten.txt
-i/--ignore-interrupts will prevent CTRL+C from killing ntee. Won't work on windows.
I also added an -s/--suppress option to suppress output to stdout. This meant to be used on npm scripts:
`shell`
$ echo "Nothing will be shown in screen" | ntee -s but-it-will-be-saved-here.txt
You can always pipe:
`shell``
cat long.log | sort | ntee sorted.log | head
