<p>The <code>pipes</code> that in the shell are representend with the symbol | , they are used to join two commands on the terminal, taking the output of the first command and using it as input of the second. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p> It is usually common to see the command grep and ps together, an example below.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{% highlight ruby linenos %}
|
||
|
|
ps aux | grep user
|
||
|
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
|
<p>Lists all processes with your username</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{% highlight ruby linenos %}
|
||
|
|
cat example1.txt | nl
|
||
|
|
1 Car
|
||
|
|
2 Computer
|
||
|
|
3 Robot
|
||
|
|
4 Smartphone
|
||
|
|
5 Videogame
|
||
|
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
||
|
|
<p>In this example you send this output to another process, in this case, the <a href="nl.html">nl</a> </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use the commands that you learned and put them together, always respecting the logic of the command.</p>
