When the pipe is used?..

Answer / Ganesh Prasad

A pipe is a communication mechanism between two processes in an operating system (OS) that allows data to be passed from the output of one process to the input of another. It is useful when one process generates data that another process can use immediately, allowing the processes to run concurrently without explicit coordination. Pipes are often used for interprocess communication (IPC) in shell scripts or command-line utilities.
