A term used in the OTX driver. Represents a path for a data connection. A pipe has a capacity which describes how much data can flow through it. A common capacity is 64 kbit/s (one timeslot). A pipe is a simplex connection. It has one input and one output. Pipes can be connected to physical or logical devices.
To pass from the output of one application to the intput of another application.
a convenient way to channel two or more commands/programs without creating an intermediate file
a device that redirects the output from one application and sends it to the input of another application
a means by which the output from one process becomes the input to a second
a means of taking the output of one command and redirecting it as the input of another command
a mechanism built into the QNX filesystem that lets you connect the output of one program to the input of another without having to resort to a clumsy temporary file
a mechanism that allows the standard output of one process to be connect to the standard input of another process
a method of making the output of one program in the input of another program
a natural structure for connecting the standard output of one program to the standard input of another
an interprocess communication mechanism available on both Windows and Linux (and UNIX)
an operating system mechanism originating in Unix which allows the output of one process to be used as input to another
an operating system mechanism originating in Unix, which allows the user to direct the output of one shell command through another command
an operating system object used to coect the output of one process to the input of another process
a one-way connection between two related commands
a path (input or output) between a Network Provider and the Channel Adapter/Integrated Communications Processor (CA/ICP), which is associated with a specific end point
a program designed to process a stream of input data and yield a stream of output data
a sequence of words where each word consumes the outputs of the previous one
a special type of file that is created by UNIX processes in order to pass information to other processes
a way of redirecting input and output
a way to connect the output of one expression to the input of another
The physical or base protocol layer of a network connection. Also, under UNIX, a method of interprocess communication.
used to represent a pipe between two processes in a shell command line (see also pipeline).
A pipe signifies that the output of one program (" stdout") feeds directly as input (" stdin") to another program. Any error messages from the first program (" stderr") are not passed on through the pipe. The Unix shell uses the pipe character ( | ) to join programs together. A sequence of commands joined together by pipes is known as a pipeline.[from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_%28Unix%29] Keyword(s): joining commands, filters
Sends the output of one command to the input of the next. This is accomplished on the command line by typing command1 | command2. The "|" symbol is called a pipe.
A UNIX utility allowing the output of one command to be the input of another. Represented by the | symbol. It is also referred to as filtering output.
a special UNIX file type. One program writes data into the pipe, and another program reads the data at the other end. UNIX pipes are FIFO s, so the data is read at the other end in the order it was sent. Very widely used with the shell. See also named pipe.
In Unix, a method of redirecting the output of one command to be the input of another command. It is named for the character | that redirects the output. For example, the shell command who | wc -1 pipes output from the who command to the wc command, telling you the total number of people logged into your Unix system.
An input/output channel intended for use between two processes: One process writes into the pipe, while the other reads.
v. To direct data so that the output from one process becomes the input to another process.
A way of joining commands on the command line so that the output of one command provides the input for the next. To use a pipe on the command line, join commands with the vertical bar symbol, (|). For example, to sort a file, eliminate duplicate lines, and print it, you could type sort file | uniq | lp.
A connection between the standard output of one process and the standard input of a second process.
A method of sending the output of one program (redirecting) to become the input of another. The pipe character | tells the shell to perform the redirection.
The nickname of the Unix command !, which is a short way to reissue the previous command.
Shared space that accepts the output of one program for input into another.
A UNIX mechanism for sending the output of one program directly to the input of another program, without using an intermediate file. All UNIX systems support pipes. See also article 1.4. System V and SunOS also provide "named pipes," which are FIFO (first-in/first-out) buffers that have names and can be accessed via the filesystem.
A way of connecting two programs together so that the output of one program becomes the input of another.
A connection between programs such that the standard output of one is connected to the standard input of the next. Symbolized by a vertical bar (|) in UNIX.
On Windows, Tru64 UNIX, and Linux systems, a connection that allows one program to get its input directly from the output of another program.
