When perf is writing to a pipe it uses a special version of the file
format that does not rely on seeking to adjust data offsets. This
format is not described here. The pipe version can be converted to
normal perf.data with perf inject.
format is described in "Pipe-mode data" section. The pipe data version can be
augmented with additional events using perf inject.

Pipe-mode data
Pipe-mode avoid seeks in the file by removing the perf_file_section and flags
from the struct perf_header. The trimmed header is:
struct perf_pipe_file_header {
u64 magic;
u64 size;
};
The information about attrs, data, and event_types is instead in the
synthesized events PERF_RECORD_ATTR, PERF_RECORD_HEADER_TRACING_DATA and
PERF_RECORD_HEADER_EVENT_TYPE that are generated by perf record in pipe-mode.
