Pipe error stream to another program

Since I was curious I wondered if it was possible to put down, say "2|" to pipe the error stream to another program. What I've found out is apparently pipe works only with standard in/out stream.

This can be solved using what's apparently called an anonymous pipe.

So you would write $ find / -name "sudoers" 2> >(grep find) to output every find error in the example given in the video.
