Pipelines
A pipeline is a sequence of one or more commands separated by one of the control operators
|or|&. The format for a pipeline is:[time [-p]] [ ! ] command [ [|│|&] command2 ... ]The standard output of
commandis connected via a pipe to the standard input ofcommand2. This connection is performed before any redirections specified by the command (see REDIRECTION). If|&is used, the standard error ofcommandis connected tocommand2's standard input through the pipe; it is shorthand for2>&1 |. This implicit redirection of the standard error is performed after any redirections specified by the command.
