unix uses a special character "pipe" to perform a piping function.
  -  The character is the vertical line "|"
  -  The character directs (pipes) the output of one program into the
     input of another, e.g.  ls|more  lists the files and sends them to
     a program that stops after every CRTful and asks "more?".
