Re: Large data transfer

Pipe is a standard feature of the UNIX shell. You may have mistaken the word pipe for the method of using it which is indicated by the vertical bar '|' character, as in:

command1 | command2

the line above takes the standard output of the first program (command1) and sends it to the second program (command2). often the transferred information is held only in memory. so the overall transfer can be faster than writing temporary files.
