- Does PASH support pipes? - YES! Multiple pipes are supported.
- Purpose? Just to learn how a unix shell works. I wanted to handle multiple pipes correctly, redirects, etc. It's not a complete shell, but it works ok for the purpose of learning and experimenting with low level unix system calls.
Notice in the screen capture, you will see a couple of common commands being executed as well as a PS command being piped into a grep command.
