UNIX has no strong distinction between commands built into the operating system and programs which are part of "external" applications such as spectral processing.
UNIX pipes allow commands to be connected together in a series, where the output of one command is used directly as the input to the next command.
Pipeline communication is also relatively fast, since UNIX pipes are generally implemented via physical memory buffers in the operating system (Stevens, 1992).

  Pipeline (Unix) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Unix and other Unix-like operating systems, a pipeline is a set of processes chained by their standard streams, so that the output of each process ("stdout") feeds directly as input ("stdin") of the next one.
Unix pipelines should not be confused with other data processing pipelines found in modern computer systems, although the general concept is quite similar.
The pipeline concept and the vertical-bar notation was invented by Douglas McIlroy, one of the authors of the early command shells, after he noticed that much of the time they were processing the output of one program as the input to another.

 Pipeline (computer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The elements of a pipeline are often executed in parallel or in time-sliced fashion; in that case, some amount of buffer storage is often inserted between elements.
Instruction pipelines, such as the classic RISC pipeline, which are used in processors to allow the parallel execution of two or more consecutive instructions from a nominally sequential stream; the processing elements are the logical circuits that implement the various stages of an instruction (address decoding and arithmetic, register fetching, cache lookup, etc.).
Software pipelines, consisting of multiple processes arranged so that the output stream of one process is automatically and promptly fed as the input stream of the next one.

 Linux Pipeline | Unix: Not Dead Yet   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Unix business is strong and growing, and Unix servers remain the computers of choice for businesses that need high-powered computing.
IBM's Unix offerings are almost exclusively based on its Power processor architecture, and the company has gained 15% in market share during the past three years.
Around 60% of the Unix servers shipped by HP continue to be based on its PA-RISC processor, which the vendor is phasing out in favor of the Itanium processor that HP co-developed with Intel, which can run the company's HP-UX operating system.

Unix or UNIX is a computer operating system originally developed in the 1960s and 1970s by a group of AT&T Bell Labs employees including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and Douglas McIlroy.
The Unix systems are characterized by various concepts: plain text files, command line interpreter, hierarchical file system, etc. In software engineering, Unix is mainly noted for its use of the C programming language and the so-called Unix philosophy.
The present owner of the UNIX trademark is The Open Group, while the present claimants on the rights to the UNIX source code are The SCO Group and Novell.

 Taxonomy of Unix IPC Methods
Unix's popen(3) call can set up either an input pipe or an output pipe for a shellout, but not both for a slave process —; this seems intended to encourage simpler programming.
Unix signals are a form of soft interrupt; each one has a default effect on the receiving process (usually to kill it).
All modern Unixes support BSD-style sockets, and as a matter of design they are usually the right thing to use for bidirectional IPC no matter where your cooperating processes are located.

 Systems Management Pipeline | Unix
For 35 years, the Unix operating system has been a mainstay of the computer industry, from its origins as a time-sharing system used by horn-rimmed academics to its central role running some of today's most powerful servers.
Spending for Unix licenses and maintenance was just over $2 billion in 2004, down $51 million from the year before, according to IDC, which predicts the market will be stagnant over the next few years.
Unix server revenue (IDC calls it "factory revenue") amounted to $3.9 billion in the third quarter of 2005, a 0.4% decline compared with the same period a year earlier, while unit shipments dropped 13.7% year to year.

Summarizing how pipes found their way into Unix, Vyssotsky notes that Thompson put them in, but "it was McIlroy who said, `look you ought to do it.' Pipes, like most things in Unix were not a radically new idea."(38) He describes how similar ideas had appeared in other languages like SIMULA as early as 1967.
Once the Unix kernel was coded in C, it would become possible to implement Unix on different computers without having to rewrite the majority of the code.
The contributions to the evolution of Unix by researchers at Bell Labs and then by those at the University of California at Berkeley, and other users and programmers around the world who continued the development of Unix, are an important achievement in the development of the process of software creation.

 Installing the Pipeline
When using a UNIX workstation to configure and monitor a Pipeline, you need a computer with a serial communication port capable of transmitting data at 9600 bits per second.
Make a direct connection to the Pipeline (through the serial port to which the Pipeline is connected, as described in Connecting to the Terminal port).
In some cases, it may be useful to mount the Pipeline on a wall rather than putting it on a flat surface.

Unix allows you to connect processes, by letting the standard output of one process feed into the standard input of another process.
The head command gets the first 75 lines of the file, and passes them down the pipeline to tail.
Filters can be placed anywhere in a line that enables them to help direct Unix to do what you want it to do.The common characteristic of all Unix filters is that they can read input from standard input, process it in some manner, and list the results in standard output.

 Overview of CommandShell   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It lacks some elements of Unix shell syntax, and does not provide terminal emulation, but it adds some nice Smalltalk enhancements such as a text editor which works in a command pipeline, and the ability to evalute Smalltalk expressions in a command pipeline with unix commands.
In the case of a traditional command-line interface, such as a Unix shell, the command is usually the name of a program, and the modifiers are parameters passed to the program to influence its behavior.
Once the command proxy pipeline has been created, the individual process proxies are evaluated in such a way that they appear to execute in parallel, with each proxy reading its input from a pipe connected to its predecessor in the pipeline, and writing its output to a pipe connected to its successor in the pipeline.

UNIX support at Wachovia Corp. was spiraling out of control.
The bank was also on the verge of purchasing a new server for the UNIX scheduling package, which was instead loaded onto the cluster.
"UNIX consolidation is a very challenging environment, in that the applications, utilities and subsystems that you try to consolidate onto a single platform all have to align very tightly," he explained.

 Unix as programming language | Lambda the Ultimate
Attempts to allow typed data pipelines (as in Microsoft's new shell) are a great idea, but bringing this to Unix would probably require establishing a new data processing hegemony and re-implementing ls, ps and their many friends, which of course flies in the face of Unix culture in many respects.
As part of a unix pipeline workflow, I would like to be able to feed the solver meeting requests that may conflict with an already populated calendar and have it propose scheduling solutions.
What's really nice about UNIX pipes is that every time you get to another pipe character, if you have in your mind what the stream of data looks like at that point, you can forget about what you've typed so far and just concentrate on the remainder of the process.

 Pipes -- powerful and elegant programming paradigm
Another innovation of UNIX was the development of pipes, which gave programmers the ability to string together a number of processes for a specific output.
At the Unix shell, piping is the fundamental form of program combination: pipes connect the standard output and standard input of many small tools together in a virtual “pipeline” to solve problems much more sophisticated than any of the individual programs can deal with.
Unix pipes are inherently unidirectional channels from one process to another process, and cannot be easily turned into bidirectional or multicast channels.

 Unix Tools as Visual Programming Components \\ in a GUI-builder Environment
In our case we were able to use Unix components already encapsulated in a COM framework and experiment with two different technologies for creating ActiveX controls, one based on the C++ Active Template Library (ATL), and one based on the ability of Visual Basic to create ActiveX controls.
Although in theory pipelines can be used to pass binary data and complex structures, Unix systems customarily pass records delimited by newlines and delimit fields by whitespace or another special character.
As an example, the operation of the pipeline at runtime can be visualised by colouring the components to indicate their level of activity.

 STnG — a Streaming Transformations and Glue framework
The interface between components in a UNIX pipeline is about as simple as it can get — all a process needs to participate is to read a stream of bytes and write another one.
In extreme cases, input to a pipeline may come from a “parser” that simply reports a fictitious start element tag, followed by the entire content of a text document as character data with no XML structure, followed by a fictitious element end tag.
It describes linear pipelines that operate on entire documents (document-sized chunks, if you will) and is mainly concerned with the order of operations to be performed on a document and input and output redirection.

It supersets Unix out-of-process bytestream pipelines in favor of an in-process object-oriented pipeline, while still allowing invocation of out-of-process Unix binaries which output text.
Hotwire does have a small Unix-inspired pipeline syntax, but a major goal of the project is to make it easy for users to leverage well-known existing programming languages such as Python and Ruby - and (where available) Unix shell script.
Unix terminal emulators can display not only shells running on the local system, but also on remote systems over protocols such as SSH.

In the UNIX world, the traditional scripting language is the Bourne shell, which allows many UNIX commands to be executed in sequence, or in a pipeline.
Traditional UNIX commands are cleverly written to work well when put together in a script.
UNIX programmers noticed, more than 25 years ago, that scripting languages can do serious work, so the Bourne shell was written to have variables, operators and control structures, just like a full-featured programming language.
