mmh... something is wrong tough. I always thought of a unix pipe as a conduct. The word "pipe" in french is correct for the smoking item (and also to describe a sexual act) but it does not refer to a conduct.
The conduct you call a pipe in english is a "tuyau" in french.

- jcdreads 17y agoRight. To pipe something is to use it as a conduit. A pipe is a tube for piping fluids. A pipe is also a typographic character: | The pipe character is used to indicate that the output of process A is piped to process B. I guess it's a pun. My apologies for horribly overexplaining.
