- Nice analogy. I've understood the concept of the stream pipeline for many years now, but somehow noone has ever used the factory / conveyor analogy, which makes it really easily (and succinctly) understandable. Thank you!Owen Blacker– Owen Blacker2012-02-28 18:34:32 +00:00Commented Feb 28, 2012 at 18:34
- 1Great analogy. Going to borrow this one if you don't mind.Tivie– Tivie2012-05-30 15:31:12 +00:00Commented May 30, 2012 at 15:31
- Gilles, I've asked a question on your phrasing at the bottom: unix.stackexchange.com/q/96724/29146. could you clarify?strugee– strugee2013-10-19 06:01:59 +00:00Commented Oct 19, 2013 at 6:01
- @Gilles - Can you include an example that illustrates the option to define the redirection before or after the command? For example, can the pipeline read as input-file.txt > commandA or input-file.txt < commandA?Motivated– Motivated2018-12-23 18:34:00 +00:00Commented Dec 23, 2018 at 18:34

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
