The pipe starts a process (using the command and parameters right of
the pipe symbol) and sends the stdout of the "left" process to the
stdin of the right process as in:
ls -l | less
... this would send the output of "ls -l" to the input of "less",
which pages that input for you, or
ls -l | grep lolcat
...which sends the output of "ls -l" to the input of "grep lolcat",
this last filtering out the lines containing the pattern "lolcat",
while ">" would redirect the standard output to a file, like in
ls -l > /tmp/result
...which will create a file /tmp/result (or replace an existing
file) and fill it with "ls -l"'s output.
