Pipe
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
Pipe character or vertical bar, the ASCII character at position 124 (decimal), 7C (hex), 01111100 (binary), character '|'
In Unix-like computer operating systems, a pipeline is the original software pipeline: 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.
Example:
ls | less
