[[pipe]] -- represented by the '''|''' character (shift-\ on most keyboards) -- is a function of the shell, but works the same way in whatever shell you choose. It works, unsurprisingly, as a pipe between one command and another and is a form of [[redirection]], like '''>''', '''>>''' and '''<'''. Most often it's used to pipe lengthy output (e.g., '''[[ps]] aux''') to another command, like [[more]] (or [[less]]).
