How to redirect QEMU -serial output to both a file and the terminal or a port?

I would like to be able to both interact with the system via the command line, but also get the output to a file at the same time.



If I do:



qemu-sysem-x86_64 -serial stdio |& tee file


then it mostly works, but I would like to avoid any Bash operations and let QEMU do the heavy lifting for me. For example, I'm using Python, and it is not so simple to implement a reliable tee there.



If I do:



qemu-sysem-x86_64 -serial file:myfile


It redirects to the file and I can't give any input.



Is there a way to "combine" both file: and stdio to a single -serial?



Multiple -serial entries just create multiple serial ports instead of modifying a single one.



I'm also interested if it works with telnet as in:



-serial tcp::1234,server,nowait
