Unix has been doing pipelines for the better part of a
half century now. Linux followed suit. Small wonder the
term "plumbers" would come into use.
Even DOS had pipelines -- though they were more like
hoses and bladders in internal implementation; the .$$$
temporary file extension was fairly well known. (AmigaOS
had a rather better implementation. ;-) )
Of course Microsoft then INNOVA~1 the PowerShell, which
basically substitutes .NET objects for bytes -- an iffy
substitution at best for many reasons.
As for crap floods -- at least Roy tries to be on topic,
as opposed to wandering into Swamp Scatologia.
You did put your waders on, I hope?
