[Exim] Is "pipe" equivalent to "|" in exim .forward files?

Platform: Intel PII, debian testing/unstable (sarge),

      exim 3.36-3, tmda 0.62-2

The TMDA Server Configuration for Exim
    <URL:http://tmda.net/config-server.html#exim-postfix >
gives a command example as
    "¦ /path/to/tmda/bin/tmda-filter"

The TMDA filter docs doesn't mention "¦" as a command that I can see,
but it mentions a command called "pipe".

Would the command
    pipe "/usr/bin/tmda-filter"
in a ~/.forward, be a correct command?  Ie. will it have the effect
the TMDA documentation above, expects it to have?

Thanx!
