The title basically says it all. tee has an option --ignore-interrupts:
-i, --ignore-interrupts ignore interrupt signals
Can anyone explain/give an example in which situation this is important? Thanks!

When called with -i, tee ignores the interrupt signal (SIGINT), which is normally issued by your terminal when hitting Ctrl+C.

If you're usingteein a command line pipe likesome long running command | tee output, this might be helpful if you want to kill the input provider withCtrl+C, but wantteeto exit gracefully (by readingEOFfrom the pipe).

If tee is used with -i, --ignore-interrupts options, It wont accept any interrupt signals like CNTRL+C ^C or Kill signals Except signal KILL or Signal Terminate.

That's not quite right;teedoes exactly what the option states and only ignoresSIGINT. All other signals are delivered as without-i.
