Complementary System Calls
splice is one of three system calls that complete the splice architecture. vmsplice can map an application data area into a pipe (or vice versa), thus allowing transfers between pipes and user memory where sys_splice transfers between a file descriptor and a pipe. tee is the last part of the trilogy. It duplicates one pipe to another, enabling forks in the way applications are connected with pipes.

A calling for colour calls with the wind
That’s grave and gay as grave and sea
Sleeping on either hand.”
