NAME
into - copy into a file without destroying it
SYNOPSIS
into [ -f ] outfile
DESCRIPTION
Into copies its standard input into the
specified outfile, but doesn't actually
modify the file until it gets EOF. This is
useful in a pipeline for putting stuff back
in the "same place." The outfile is not
overwritten if that would make it zero
length, unless the -f option is given. That
option also forces overwriting of the outfile
even if it is not directly writable (as long
as the directory is writable).
SEE ALSO
pipe(2)
BUGS
For efficiency reasons, the directory
containing the outfile must be writable by
the invoker.
The original outfile's owner is not
preserved.
