the original choice was inspired by the COPY command which has
COPY ... TO { 'filename' | PROGRAM 'command' | STDOUT }
COPY ... FROM { 'filename' | PROGRAM 'command' | STDIN }
and the lack of TO or FROM, so PROGRAM 'command' became --pipe-command
Other options could be --to-pipe for pg_dump and --from-pipe for pg_restore.
Or --to-program , --from-program to be closer to COPY syntax,
Or even --pipe-command-pattern to signify that there is some name
replacement done for each invocation
But thinking more about it the option name does indeed not need to be
fully self-documenting :)
So I would be ok to shortening it to just --pipe
