How to make a pipe loop in Zsh?

Question

Penz says that the problem could be solved by Multios and coproc features in the thread.

However, I am unsure about the solution.

I do know that you can use multios as

ls -1 > file | less

but I have never used such that you have two inputs.

How can you use these features to have a pipe loop in Zsh?

Start by looking at http://chronos.cs.msu.su/zsh-man/zsh_5.html and http://zsh.org/mla/users/1999/msg00619.html — Matthew Flaschen, May 07 '09 at 19:36

I am having trouble understanding the questions.

Are you trying to do the following:

(ls -1 && file) | less

Where && is used for multiple commands on a single line.

Or are you trying to do the following:

ls -1 | tee file | less

Where tee puts the output into the file and standard out.
