Module std::io::net::pipeExperimental [-]  [+] [src]

Named pipes

This module contains the ability to communicate over named pipes with synchronous I/O. On windows, this corresponds to talking over a Named Pipe, while on Unix it corresponds to UNIX domain sockets.

These pipes are similar to TCP in the sense that you can have both a stream to a server and a server itself. The server provided accepts other UnixStream instances as clients.

Structs

UnixAcceptor

A value that can accept named pipe connections, returned from listen().

UnixListener

A value that can listen for incoming named pipe connection requests.

UnixStream

A stream which communicates over a named pipe.
