This C program executes multiple commands piped together by using fork() and pipe() system calls. It parses each command and its parameters into a linked list. The execommands() function iterates through the list, forking a child process for each intermediate command. The child process duplicates the pipe file descriptor to stdin or stdout as needed, closes the unneeded file descriptor, and executes the command using execvp(). After the child process exits, the parent process waits and continues to the next command.
