NAME

pipe - run programs in a pipe  

SYNOPSIS

pipe cmd1 cmd2  

DESCRIPTION

pipe runs the program cmd1 with its output redirected to a pipe, and at the same time cmd2 with its output redirected from the pipe. If arguments are given to cmd1 and cmd2, the whole commands must be enclosed in quotes, and pipe must be run from a shell that supports the MWC or Atari standard extended argument scheme.  

EXAMPLE

The following command pipes stdout from ls to stdin of cat:

pipe 'ls -l' 'cat -v'
 

IMPLEMENTATION

Built with the MiNT library, patchlevel 19. Using a different library, or an earlier version of the MiNT library, may or may not cause problems; in particular, various constants defined in <signal.h> and <ioctl.h> will probably be wrong if you are not using the MiNT library.
