Oh yes, Linux pipes were invented by Douglas McIlroy while working for Bell Labs on Research UNIX and first described in the man pages of Version 3 Unix, Feb. 1974, just a couple months after Linus Torvald's 4th birthday.
Where and how and when will the unjust and blatent plagiarism of Linux cease? The software was made free by BSD, so feel free to use it, roll it all into GNU/Linux, have at it, but please stop incorrectly describing these things as Linux things. Because the only software that I am certain actually belongs to Linux is systemd. So let's start calling that "Linux systemd," and stop calling anything else Linux anything.
> In this post, we will explore how Unix pipes are implemented in Linux
Seems to me like this post is pretty specifically about Unix pipes on Linux (i.e. Linux pipes), as opposed to Unix pipes in general.
The article also talks about “Linux paging”, again clearly referring to the implementation and usage of virtual memory on Linux, rather than…whatever ancient architecture first invented the page table.
This would be valid, but only if the implementation of pipes in Linux is different than other pipelines, regardless of differences in memory paging, which the article, as detailed and in depth as it is, never makes clear.
So I'm not sure it is not analogous to, "today, we're going to talk about Linux electricity, specifically the way electricity is utilized in Linux."
When you have multiple ways to interpret what someone says, it's generally a good idea to assume best intentions. In this case Linux pipes would then refer to pipes in Linux, rather than implied ownership or origin. This avoids a lot of unnecessary squabbling
So pipes in Linux are significantly different than other pipelines? Was the wheel really reinvented when Linux was developed from Minux, such that the Minix pipeline implementation was abandoned? RLY??! I doubt it.
It's just how language works. You can say "The desert sun is making me thirsty", even when in fact it is the same sun. It's not even located in the desert, nor is it doing anything special at all. Still somehow everyone intuitively knows what you mean.
