why pipe?Personally,
pipe 'file' only lies in memory. and inspired from the block/character device's operation, the pipe can provide support for the large file's or basic file's streamlined operation. as a long-history IPC way, Its existence show the power and conveniences just like the data structure of stack or queue, to some extends. it's "the queue in Disk".
