pipe n. common idiomatically, one's connection to the internet; in
   context, the expansion "bit pipe" is understood. a "fat pipe" is a line
   with t1 or higher capacity. a person with a 28.8 modem might be heard to
   complain "i need a bigger pipe".

pipe
     
        1.  one of unix's buffers which can be
        written to by one asynchronous process and read by another,
        with the kernel suspending and waking up the sender and
        receiver according to how full the pipe is.  in later versions
        of unix, rather than using an anonymous kernel-managed
        temporary file to implement a pipe, it can be named and is
        implemented as a local socket pair.
     
        2.  "|" ascii character 124.  used to represent a
        pipe between two processes in a shell command line.  e.g.
     
        	grep foo log | more
     
        which feeds the output of grep into the input of more without
        requiring a named temporary file and without waiting for the
        first process to finish.
     
        3.  a connection to a network.
     
        see also light pipe.

pipe
   1 sam. 10:5; 1 kings 1:40; isa. 5:12; 30:29. the hebrew word
   halil, so rendered, means "bored through," and is the name given
   to various kinds of wind instruments, as the fife, flute,
   pan-pipes, etc. in amos 6:5 this word is rendered "instrument of
   music." this instrument is mentioned also in the new testament
   matt. 11:17; 1 cor. 14:7. it is still used in palestine, and
   is, as in ancient times, made of different materials, as reed,
   copper, bronze, etc.
