The command "ps aux | sk" is composed of two parts connected with the pipe operator "|".

1. "ps aux" is a command used in Unix-like operating systems to display information about running processes. The "a" option shows processes owned by all users, and the "u" option provides a more detailed output with additional information such as the username, CPU and memory usage, and start time.

2. The "|" symbol is the pipe operator, which redirects the output of the command on the left side to the input of the command on the right side. It enables chaining commands together, allowing them to work together and process data.

3. "sk" seems to be a custom command or program that is being used as the input for the output produced by "ps aux". Without further information, it is not possible to determine the exact functionality of "sk". It could be a script, binary, or an alias defined by the user.

In summary, the command "ps aux | sk" retrieves a list of running processes on the system and then passes that output to the input of the "sk" command for further processing or analysis.
