What does a pipe(|) do?

Answer Posted / Javed Ameen

The pipe symbol (|) in Unix allows the output of one command to be passed as input to another command. When multiple commands are piped together, the standard output of the first command becomes the standard input of the next command. This can be useful for chaining commands and performing complex operations without temporary files.
