== == In computer programming, the word pipe has several meanings.

To see code and a UML diagram for a programmable (C# .Net) pipe, check out CodeGuru's "Inter-Process Communication in .NET Using Named Pipes, Part 1" ( http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/.net/net_general/patterns/article.php/c7259 ) A pipe is a section of shared memory that enables communication between threads in different processes, otherwise called Inter-Process Communication (IPC). IPC occurs between any thread in any process and possibly even over network and is generally socket based. Both Unix shells and DOS implement the pipe symbol in relation to this kind of function.

The pipe symbol is most commonly recognized as signifying a choice in computer programming (ie: RegEx, C-style languages) but is also significant in other fields (mathematics, as absolute value and divisibility, phonetics, etc..)
