Question, is pipe a redirect?
Yes and no.
The conclusion is that <, >, <<, >> directs output to files or directs input
from files.
I (pipe) is a pipe in that it pipes(directs) output from one program to
another.
To play it safe, I would say(judging from all the responses) to call | a pipe
and not a redirect, strictly speaking.
Thanks for all who helped out.
