For the Love of Pipes

Read Original

This article delves into the Unix pipe command (|), explaining its function and celebrating its elegant design. It traces the concept's origins to a 1964 memo by Doug McIlroy and discusses the core Unix philosophy of building programs that 'do one thing well' and can be connected, with the output of one becoming the input to another.
