|
Pipeline is a master control program for a data flow pipeline, in the manner of shell.
Pipeline essentially combines the Bourne shell notions of the pipe:
| cmdA | cmdB | cmdC |
and of the logical command list:
| cmdA || cmdB && cmdC |
We say that these are combined because pipeline always passes a program's stdout to the next program's stdin, akin to the shell's pipeline, but stages of the pipeline can be excluded from the pipeline based on the exit status of previous stages, as in the logical command list.
For more information, refer to the fine manual. We deliver the fine manual to you in troff (i.e., "man"), ASCII, PostScript, PDF, *and* HTML, so no excuses, ok?
