# SYNOPSIS

rotatee [*options*] [*file prefix*]

# DESCRIPTION

`rotatee` is `tee(1)` with file rotation:
* stdin is written to stdout
* stdin is also written to a file with a timestamp
* if the next line of input exceeds the maximum configured number of
bytes, the input is written to a new file
* if SIGTERM is received, `rotatee` will exit after writing the next
line of input

# BUILDING

```
go install codeberg.org/msantos/rotatee/cmd/rotatee@latest
```
