985 The @code{pipe} test executes a shell command specified by its
986 argument and pipes the entire message (including envelope) to its
987 standard input. When given, tags @code{:envelope}, @code{:header},
988 and @code{:body} control what parts of the message to pipe to the command.
989
990 In the absence of the @code{:exit} tag, the test returns true if
991 the command exits with code 0. If @code{:exit} is given, the test returns
992 true if the command exits with code equal to its argument.
993
994 The @code{:signal} tag determines the result of the test in case if the program
995 exits on signal. By default, the test returns false. If @code{:signal}
996 is given and the number of signal which caused the program to terminate
997 matches its argument, the test returns true.
