How to print results to both stdout and a file?

[Dentrax]

By default, grype prints all results in table format to stdout. In the pipeline I want to show the vulnerabilities in human-readable table format and also exporting the scan results into a file but audit/provenance purposes.

$ grype oci-dir:output --fail-on critical -o json --file result.json

Report written to "result.json"
1 error occurred:
	* discovered vulnerabilities at or above the severity threshold

Current workaround is to run grype twice with different flags (which decreases UX and increases pipeline duration):

$ grype oci-dir:output || true
$ grype oci-dir:output --fail-on critical -o json --file result.json

I could $ cat result.json here to show content of file, but it's too verbose and does not make sense to print the entire file into stdout.

Any thoughts how to achieve this?

@Dentrax I think we could update the commands surface area to give you the ability to both print the results and write to some destination. @wagoodman would you want this to be added as an additional flag?

This could be accomplished with the request in #648 (syft already can do this) That issue also has example output flags

Thanks for the issue @Dentrax! I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #648, as it was opened first and has a little more detail -- but please let me know if I've missed something!
