Print `stdin` to the terminal, and also pipe it into another program for further processing:
echo "example" | tee /dev/tty | xargs printf "[%s]"
Create a directory called "example", count the number of characters in "example", and write "example" to the terminal:
echo "example" | tee >(xargs mkdir) >(wc [-c|--bytes])
