+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ng_tee
+.Nd netgraph ``tee'' node type
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In netgraph/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:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Va left2right"
+.It Va right
+The connection to the node on the right.
+.It Va left
+The connection to the node on the left.
+.It Va right2left
+Tap for right to left traffic.
+.It Va left2right
+Tap for left to right traffic.
+.El
+.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
+This node type supports the generic control messages, plus the following.
+.Bl -tag -width foo
+.It Dv NGM_TEE_GET_STATS Pq Ic getstats
+Get statistics, returned as a
+.Dv "struct ng_tee_stats" .
+.It Dv NGM_TEE_CLR_STATS Pq Ic clrstats
+Clear statistics.
+.El
+.Sh SHUTDOWN
+This node shuts down upon receipt of an
+.Dv NGM_SHUTDOWN
+control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.
+If both
+.Dv right
+and
+.Dv left
+hooks are present, node removes itself from the chain gently,
+connecting
+.Dv right
+and
+.Dv left
+together.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr tee 1 ,
+.Xr netgraph 4 ,
+.Xr ngctl 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+node type was implemented in
+.Fx 4.0 .
