PR_CreatePipe
=============
Creates an anonymous pipe and retrieves file descriptors for the read
and write ends of the pipe.
Syntax
------
.. code::
#include <prio.h>
PRStatus PR_CreatePipe(
PRFileDesc **readPipe,
PRFileDesc **writePipe);
Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~
The function has the following parameters:
``readPipe``
A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` pointer. On return, this parameter
contains the file descriptor for the read end of the pipe.
``writePipe``
A pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` pointer. On return, this parameter
contains the file descriptor for the write end of the pipe.
Returns
~~~~~~~
The function returns one of these values:
- If the pipe is successfully created, ``PR_SUCCESS``.
- If the pipe is not successfully created, ``PR_FAILURE``. The error
code can be retrieved via :ref:`PR_GetError`.
Description
-----------
:ref:`PR_CreatePipe` creates an anonymous pipe. Data written into the write
end of the pipe can be read from the read end of the pipe. Pipes are
useful for interprocess communication between a parent and a child
process. When the pipe is no longer needed, both ends should be closed
with calls to :ref:`PR_Close`.
:ref:`PR_CreatePipe` is currently implemented on Unix, Linux, Mac OS X, and
Win32 only.
