Redirect stdout to stderr but keep it also in stdout

I want to be able to redirect stdout to stderr but keep the content of stdout in there also. So not exactly redirect but clone or duplicate.

If the sole purpose is to split stdout to terminal and a file, another idea:

mycommand | tee -a /tmp/stdout-content

NOTE: -a says to append to the file; to overwrite the file each time mycommand is run you can remove the -a (which leaves you with the same thing KamilCuk just posted)

Typically:

command | tee /dev/stderr

found a solution:

mycommand | awk '{print; print | "cat 1>&2"}' > /tmp/stdout-content

# and stout is also in stderr (visible in the terminal)
