NAME
ACE_Pipe - 
Provides a bidirectional "pipe" abstraction that is portable
to Windows NT, SVR4 UNIX, and BSD UNIX.
SYNOPSIS
#include <ace/Pipe.h>
class ACE_Pipe
{
  public:
    ACE_Pipe (void);
    ACE_Pipe (ACE_HANDLE handles[2]);
    ACE_Pipe (ACE_HANDLE read, ACE_HANDLE write);
    ~ACE_Pipe (void);
    int open (ACE_HANDLE handles[2]);
    int open (void);
    int close (void);
    ACE_HANDLE read_handle (void) const;
    ACE_HANDLE write_handle (void) const;
    void dump (void) const;
  private:
    ACE_HANDLE handles_[2];
};
DESCRIPTION
Uses "name" for lookup in the ACE service repository. Obtains
the object and returns it as the appropriate type.
Initialization and termination.
ACE_Pipe (void);
Default constructor (does nothing...).
ACE_Pipe (ACE_HANDLE handles[2]);
Open the pipe and initialize the handles.
ACE_Pipe (ACE_HANDLE read, ACE_HANDLE write);
Initialize the ACE_Pipe from the read and write handles.
~ACE_Pipe (void);
Default dtor.  It doesn't close the handles for you.
int open (ACE_HANDLE handles[2]);
Open the pipe and initialize the handles.
int open (void);
int close (void);
Close down the pipe HANDLEs;
Accessors.
ACE_HANDLE read_handle (void) const;
This is the "read" side of the pipe.  Note, however, that
processes can also write to this handle as well since pipes are
bi-directional.
ACE_HANDLE write_handle (void) const;
This is the "write" side of the pipe.  Note, however, that
processes can also read to this handle as well since pipes are
bi-directional.
void dump (void) const;
Dump the state of the object.
