# ntee

Portable Unix shell command `tee`, with some extras — read from standard input and write to standard output and files.

## TL;DR

`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"

  }

}

```

## Install

```shell

$ npm install -g ntee

```

## Check

```shell

$ ntee --help

```

## Use

```

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

```
