I am reading here (Unix shells, by example) and it says:

"The output of one command is send to the buffer, and when the buffer
is full or the command has terminated, the command on the right-hand
side of the pipe reads from the buffer."

Now is that how buffer-over-flows work and how you get your commands
to execute..by overflowing the buffer and then having a pipe so
whatever you have on the right side gets executed?

Just wondering
Thanks.
