Pipe Retriever
[File Retrievers]

SYNOPSYS

Retriever URI:

pipe:cmd

i.e.

pipe:tr a-zA-Z

DESCRIPTION

The pipe retriever runs a shell command and connects to its standard input for write operations and to its standard output for read operations. Per invocation, only either reading or writing is possible.

The command is executed via the single-argument Java exec()-function. This is subject to change, future versions might execute a shell instead in order to a more commonly used and more powerful command syntax.
