pipecmd CMD_1 [ARGS] -- CMD_2 [ARGS]
Equivalent to this shell command:
CMD_1 | CMD_2
The first command's (CMD_1) arguments can not contain a double-dash (--),
because it's the command separator for pipecmd(1).
However, since only a total of 2 commands are supported,
arguments for CMD_2 may contain double-dash(es).
You can chain pipecmd(1) commands together to get a pipeline equivalent to
CMD_1 | CMD_2 | CMD_3, like:
pipecmd CMD_1 -- pipecmd CMD_2 -- CMD_3
It's sometimes more convenient to don't involve shell command-line parser.
