A pipe is one of these:
grep foo /bar/baz/* | more
It's one of the basic Unix concepts, along with background processes,
tree-structured directories and the "man" command.
It let's data move from one process to another so that there is no need
to create an intermediate file for communication, nor for an
application to be written as a single monolithic whole; rather, it can
be written as a series of small, simple "filters."
