.Sh NAME
.Nm ng_tee
.Nd netgraph ``tee'' node type
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In netgraph/tee/ng_tee.h
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm tee
node type has a purpose similar to the
.Xr tee 1
command.
.Nm Tee
nodes are useful for debugging or
.Dq snooping
on a connection
between two netgraph nodes.
.Nm Tee
nodes have four hooks,
.Dv right ,
.Dv left ,
.Dv right2left ,
and
.Dv left2right .
All data received on
.Dv right
is sent unmodified to
.Em both
hooks
.Dv left
and
.Dv right2left .
Similarly, all data received on
.Dv left
is sent unmodified to both
.Dv right
and
.Dv left2right .
.Pp
Packets may also be received on
.Dv right2left
and
.Dv left2right ;
if so, they are forwarded unchanged out hooks
.Dv right
and
.Dv left ,
respectively.
.Sh HOOKS
This node type supports the following hooks:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width foobarbarfoo
.It Dv right
The connection to the node on the right.
.It Dv left
The connection to the node on the left.
.It Dv right2left
Tap for right to left traffic.
.It Dv left2right

.Dv "struct ng_tee_stats" .
.It Dv NGM_TEE_CLR_STATS

.El
.Sh SHUTDOWN
