title: What does "|>" mean in elixir?
body: <p>I'm reading through some code elixir code on github and I see <code>|&gt;</code> being used often. It does not appear in the list of <a href="http://elixir-lang.org/getting-started/basic-operators.html" rel="noreferrer">operation</a> on the documentation site. What does it mean? </p>
  
  <p>i.e.</p>
  
  <pre><code>expires_at:    std["expires_in"] |&gt; expires_at,
  </code></pre>
