What is the role of the pipe character in a Linux command line operation?
To redirect the output of one command to the input of another command
To append the output of a command to the end of a file
To execute a command in the background
To overwrite the content of a file with the output of a command
The pipe character (|) is used to take the standard output of the command on the left, and feeds it as standard input to the command on the right. It is a crucial tool in shell scripting and command line operations to chain commands and construct more complex procedures by handling the flow of data from one utility to another.
