PowerShell Working with the PowerShell pipeline Working concept of pipeline
Example
In a pipeline series each function runs parallel to the others, like parallel threads. The first processed object is transmitted to the next pipeline and the next processing is immediately executed in another thread. This explains the high speed gain compared to the standard ForEach
@( bigFile_1, bigFile_2, ..., bigFile_n) | Copy-File | Encrypt-File | Get-Md5
- step - copy the first file (in
Copy-fileThread) - step - copy
second file (in
Copy-fileThread) and simultaneously Encrypt the first (inEncrypt-File) - step -
copy third file (in
Copy-fileThread) and simultaneously encrypt second file (inEncrypt-File) and simultaneouslyget-Md5of the first (inGet-Md5)
