Accessing Windows NT Named Pipes
To access a Windows NT named pipe, you create it, connect it, read it, write it, and close it. Table 4–1 lists these tasks and their C and 4GL equivalents.
As Table 4–1 shows, C lets you create, connect, read, write, and close Windows NT named pipes, while the 4GL lets you read, write, and close them.
Actually, the 4GL lets you perform all the tasks in the table if you use the 4GL’s access to DLLs to call into
kernel32.dll
, which contains all the C functions in the table. For more information on using the 4GL to access DLLs, see Shared Library and DLL Support."
