NAME
tap - follow the pipes of a process
SYNOPSIS
tap [ pid ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Tap walks the file descriptors of a process looking for pipes (see
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.
