.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.I Tap
|
|
|
|
walks the file descriptors of a process looking for pipes (see
|
|
|
|
.IR pipe (3))
|
|
|
|
and then finds the processes on the other end of these pipes
|
|
|
|
repeating the process recursively. The result is a tree of
|
|
|
|
alternating process and filedescriptor nodes that make up the
|
|
|
|
process pipeline.
