+.SH NAME
+tee \- duplicating pipe content
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.BR "#define _GNU_SOURCE" " /* See feature_test_macros(7) */"
+.B #include <fcntl.h>
+.P
+.BI "ssize_t tee(int " fd_in ", int " fd_out ", size_t " len \
+", unsigned int " flags );
+.fi
+.\" Return type was long before glibc 2.7
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" Example programs http://brick.kernel.dk/snaps
+.\"
+.\"
+.\" add a "tee(in, out1, out2)" system call that duplicates the pages
+.\" (again, incrementing their reference count, not copying the data) from
+.\" one pipe to two other pipes.
+.BR tee ()
+duplicates up to
+.I len
+bytes of data from the pipe referred to by the file descriptor
+.I fd_in
+to the pipe referred to by the file descriptor
+.IR fd_out .
+It does not consume the data that is duplicated from
+.IR fd_in ;
+therefore, that data can be copied by a subsequent
+.BR splice (2).
+.P
+.I flags
+is a bit mask that is composed by ORing together
+zero or more of the following values:
+.TP 1.9i
+.B SPLICE_F_MOVE
+Currently has no effect for
+.BR tee ();
+see
+.BR splice (2).
+.TP
+.B SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK
+Do not block on I/O; see
+.BR splice (2)
+for further details.
+.TP
+.B SPLICE_F_MORE
+Currently has no effect for
+.BR tee (),
+but may be implemented in the future; see
+.BR splice (2).
+.TP
+.B SPLICE_F_GIFT
+Unused for
+.BR tee ();
+see
+.BR vmsplice (2).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Upon successful completion,
+.BR tee ()
+returns the number of bytes that were duplicated between the input
+and output.
+A return value of 0 means that there was no data to transfer,
+and it would not make sense to block, because there are no
+writers connected to the write end of the pipe referred to by
+.IR fd_in .
+.P
+On error,
+.BR tee ()
+returns \-1 and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP
+.B EAGAIN
+.B SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK
+was specified in
+.I flags
+or one of the file descriptors had been marked as nonblocking
+.RB ( O_NONBLOCK ) ,
+and the operation would block.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I fd_in
+or
+.I fd_out
+does not refer to a pipe; or
+.I fd_in
+and
+.I fd_out
+refer to the same pipe.
+.TP
+.B ENOMEM
+Out of memory.
+.SH STANDARDS
+Linux.
+.SH HISTORY
+Linux 2.6.17,
+glibc 2.5.
+.SH NOTES
+Conceptually,
+.BR tee ()
+copies the data between the two pipes.
+In reality no real data copying takes place though:
+under the covers,
+.BR tee ()
+assigns data to the output by merely grabbing
+a reference to the input.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The example below implements a basic
+.BR tee (1)
+program using the
+.BR tee ()
+system call.
+Here is an example of its use:
