Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D. E.D
The correct answer is D. myapp | tee file1.log
.
Explanation:
myapp
is a program or command whose output we want to capture in both standard output (stdout) and the file file1.log
.
Option A: cat < myapp | cat > file1.log
This command will redirect the input of cat
to come from the output of myapp
, and then redirect the output of cat
to the file file1.log
. This will not achieve the desired result because cat
will simply display the output of myapp
on the terminal, and the file file1.log
will only contain the output of cat
, not myapp
.
Option B: myapp 0>&1 | cat > file1.log
This command redirects the standard output of myapp
to the same place as standard error, which is then piped to cat
, which in turn sends its output to file1.log
. This will not work as intended, because the standard output of myapp
will be redirected to the standard input of cat
, not the terminal.
Option C: myapp | cat > file1.log
This command will redirect the output of myapp
to the input of cat
, which will then send its output to file1.log
. This option is incorrect, as it will not display the output of myapp
on the terminal.
Option D: myapp | tee file1.log
This command uses the tee
command to display the output of myapp
on the terminal while also sending it to file1.log
. This is the correct option, as it achieves the desired result.
Option E: tee myapp file1.log
This command will try to execute a program called tee
with two arguments, myapp
and file1.log
. This is not correct, as tee
is a command, not a program that can be executed with arguments.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. myapp | tee file1.log
.
