You can even combine the two functions above; have the @code{tee}
A few tips about @code{pager}: You can use it to write to a file:
@example
mysql> pager cat > /tmp/log.txt
@end example
and the results will only go to a file. You can also pass any options
for the programs that you want to use with the @code{pager}:
@example
mysql> pager less -n -i -S
@end example
From the above do note the option '-S'. You may find it very useful when
browsing the results; try the option with horizontal output (end
commands with '\g', or ';') and with vertical output (end commands with
'\G'). Sometimes a very wide result set is hard to be read from the screen,
with option -S to less you can browse the results within the interactive
less from left to right, preventing lines longer than your screen from
being continued to the next line. This can make the result set much more
readable. You can swith the mode between on and off within the interactive
less with '-S'. See the 'h' for more help about less.
@item
Last (unless you already understood this from the above examples ;) you
can combine very complex ways to handle the results, for example the
following would send the results to two files in two different
directories, on two different hard-disks mounted on /dr1 and /dr2, yet
let the results still be seen on the screen via less:
@example
mysql> pager cat | tee /dr1/tmp/res.txt | tee /dr2/tmp/res2.txt | less -n -i -S
@end example

You can also combine the two functions above; have the @code{tee}
enabled, @code{pager} set to 'less' and you will be able to browse the

the same time. The difference between @code{UNIX tee} used with the
@code{pager} and the @code{mysql} client in-built @code{tee}, is that
the in-built @code{tee} works even if you don't have the @code{UNIX tee}
available. The in-built @code{tee} also logs everything that is printed
on the screen, where the @code{UNIX tee} used with @code{pager} doesn't
log quite that much. Last, but not least, the interactive @code{tee} is
more handy to switch on and off, when you want to log something into a
file, but want to be able to turn the feature off sometimes.
