Position? It's a pipe.
I've thought of lots of applications for this idea, but the original one was a sort of temporary automatic buffer. One process produces data and writes it to the next, the next buffers it, the third reads from the buffer. When the buffer bottoms out, the process joins the input and output pipes together then quits.
