Yes, but so what. You're regurgitating bash code: whereas the above just
schematically shows what some folks do - the '|' wasn't meaning to imply
a partic ordering; and instead that some folks just choose to use only
one of the three items.

In what way does that relate to the post. Why are you bothering to write it.

Ditto.
Bruce, I think you're just yet again completely failing to grasp the
simplest info in the likes of the post. You're almost over-thinking it.
