The responsibilities of a pipe component are to transfer data between filters, sometimes to buffer data or to synchronise activity between neighbouring filters.
As all filters and pipes are active simultaneously, they accept data, operate on it in the case of filters, and send it to the next step.
Pipes and Filters systems can degenerate to the point where they become a batch sequential system, this is each step processes all data as a single entity.

Pipes and Filters is an architectural style used primarily for processing streams of data.
An active filter is one that runs as a separate process or thread; it actively pulls data from the input data stream and pushes the transformed data onto the output data stream.
The pipes are the connectors--between a data source and the first filter, between filters, and between the last filter and a data sink.

 Pipeline (software) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The concept is also called the pipes and filters design pattern.
For performance, most operating systems implementing pipes use pipe buffers, which allow the source process to provide more data than the destination process is currently able or willing to receive.
Pipes and filters can be viewed as a form of functional programming, using byte streams as data objects.

A filter is a Unix command that does some manipulation of the text of a file.
In the parent process, the pipe file descriptor f_des[0] is closed and the message (the string referenced by argv[1]) is written to the pipe file descriptor f_des[1].
In the child process, the pipe file descriptor f_des[1] is closed and pipe file descriptor f_des[0] is read to obtain the message.

 EIO Design Goals
Pipes and filters, including the built-in ones, may spontaneously fail unless their specific contract says otherwise.

 I/O Redirection and Pipes
Closely related to pipes and the pipe operator is the topic of filters.
Some filters can be used on their own (without pipes), but the true power to manipulate streams of data to the desired output comes from the combination of pipes and filters.
This example pipes the output from the who command into the cut command, where the characters one through twelve are cut (and directed to stdout by default) while all other characters on each line are discarded.

 Pipeline (Unix) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By default, the standard error streams ("stderr") of the processes in a pipeline are not passed on through the pipe; instead, they are merged and directed to the console.
The pipe ends appear to be normal, anonymous file descriptors, except that they have no ability to seek.
An important aspect of this, setting Unix pipes apart from other pipe implementations, is the concept of buffering: a sending program may produce 5000 bytes per second, and a receiving program may only be able to accept 100 bytes per second, but no data are lost.

The output of filter 2 must be compatible with the input of the sink.
Consequently, the series configuration of filter 1 and filter 2 is functionally equivalent to a single filter that implements the composition of the two transfer functions (filter 12 in the figure).
Filters that implement simple transformations typically encapsulate fewer assumptions about the problem they are solving than filters that implement complex transformations.

 Pipes -- powerful and elegant programming paradigm
Pipes appeared in Unix in 1972, well after the PDP-11 version of the system was in operation, at the suggestion (or perhaps insistence) of M. McIlroy, a long-time advocate of the non-hierarchical control flow that characterizes coroutines.
The pipe notation using `<' and `>' survived only a couple of months; it was replaced by the present one that uses a unique operator to separate components of a pipeline.
Pipes are elegant implementation of coroutines on OS shell level and as such they allow the output from one program to be fed as input to another program.

 ITworld.com - Implementing filters and pipes
A filter is a program that accepts input, transforms it, and outputs the transformed data.

 Enterprise Integration Patterns - Pipes and Filters
Use the Pipes and Filters architectural style to divide a larger processing task into a sequence of smaller, independent processing steps (Filters) that are connected by channels (Pipes).
Each filter exposes a very simple interface: it receives messages on the inbound pipe, processes the message, and publishes the results to the outbound pipe.
The connection between filter and pipe is sometimes called port.

 Unix Filters Definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
A filter is a small and (usually) specialized program in Unix-like operating systems that transforms plain text (i.e., human readable) data in some meaningful way and that can be used together with other filters and pipes to form a series of operations that produces highly specific results.
Numerous filters are included on Unix-like systems, a few of which are awk, cat, comm, csplit, cut, diff, expand, fold, grep, head, join, less, more, paste, sed, sort, spell, tail, tr, unexpand, uniq and wc.
The ls command lists the contents of /sbin and pipes its output (using the pipe operator, which is designated by the vertical bar character) to the filter grep, which searches for all files and directories that contain the letter sequence mk in their names.

 Chapter Two: Architectural Styles
The connectors that transmits the output stream from one filter to the input stream of another are called pipes.
The filters must not share states with other filters and also they must not know the identity of their input or output streams which would restrict the input and make the output predictable.
The last one is typed pipes which require that the data passed between two filters have a well-defined type.
