+The idea of connecting an output from one process, via an in-kernel memory buffer, to the input of another process is entirely original to Unix.
+Doug McIlroy, in 1964, had proposed that "We should have some ways of connecting programs like garden hose--screw in another segment when it becomes necessary to massage data in another way. This is the way of IO also." (Dennis Ritchie, [[https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/mdmpipe.html|Advice from Doug McIlroy]])
