Bash Piping

December 21st, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

So I’ve been playing with Bash (Bourne Again Shell) and have discovered how incredibly useful piping is. With piping you can take the output of one command and output (pipe) it somewhere, to another command or to a file. This has proven extremely helpful when listing (ls) directories and their permissions. I can ls the directory, pipe it to a .txt file and then email that to someone so that they can see what the permissions for that specific directory are supposed to be. Makes my life easier! Hey oh!
