The Pipe is a command in Linux that lets you use two or more commands such that output of one command serves as input to the next. In short, the output of each process directly as input to the next one like a pipeline. The symbol '|' denotes a pipe.

Example

  • cat file1 | cut -d '"' -f 1
  • echo "testssgu" | grep "test"

NOTE: While the options provided here work on most UNIX systems, some UNIX flavors may have changed their meanings or uses. If you experience an incompatibility with these options, please consult the manual page (see man command) on your system for a list of compatible options.
