PIPE(2) System Calls Manual PIPE(2)NAME
pipe - create an interprocess channel
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
int pipe(int fd[2])
DESCRIPTION
Pipe creates a buffered channel for interprocess I/O communication. Two file descriptors are returned in fd. Data written to fd[1] is
available for reading from fd[0] and data written to fd[0] is available for reading from fd[1].
After the pipe has been established, cooperating processes created by subsequent fork(2) calls may pass data through the pipe with read and
write calls. The bytes placed on a pipe by one write are contiguous even if many processes are writing. Write boundaries are preserved:
each read terminates when the read buffer is full or after reading the last byte of a write, whichever comes first.
The number of bytes available to a read(2) is reported in the Length field returned by fstat or dirfstat on a pipe (see stat(2)).
When all the data has been read from a pipe and the writer has closed the pipe or exited,read(2) will return 0 bytes. Writes to a pipe with no reader will generate a note sys: write on closed pipe.

Sets errstr.
BUGS
If a read or a write of a pipe is interrupted, some unknown number of bytes may have been transferred.
When a read from a pipe returns 0 bytes, it usually means end of file but is indistinguishable from reading the result of an explicit write
of zero bytes.

pipe - two-way interprocess communication
SYNOPSIS
bind #| dir
dir/data
dir/ctl
dir/data1
dir/ctl1
DESCRIPTION
An attach(5) of this device allocates two new streams joined at the device end. X/data and x/ctl are the data and control channels of one
stream and x/data1 and x/ctl1 are the data and control channels of the other stream.
Data written to one channel becomes available for reading at the other. Write boundaries are preserved: each read terminates when the read
buffer is full or after reading the last byte of a write, whichever comes first.
Written data is buffered in kernel stream blocks. The writer will block once the stream is full, typically after 32768 bytes or 16 writes.
The writer will resume once the stream is less than half full.
If there are multiple writers, each write is guaranteed to be available in a contiguous piece at the other end of the pipe. If there are
multiple readers, each read will return data from only one write.
The pipe(2) system call performs an attach of this device and returns file descriptors to the new pipe's data and data1 files. The files
are open with mode ORDWR.

I create commands within a pipe and finally want them to be executed instead of being displayed on the screen. What is the last stage in this pipe? I found by guessing that "ksh" is working, but is this the best to use here?
It boils down to this:
