Description

Named pipes are used on Windows for local (and remote) IPC. Where a Unix system would use a Unix domain socket, a Windows system will probably used a named pipe.

OCaml bindings for named pipes

Named pipes are used on Windows for local (and remote) IPC. Where a Unix system would use a Unix domain socket, a Windows system will probably used a named pipe.

Example

To build:

oasis setup
make

To run a server:

./_build/src/pipecat.native -l \\\\.\\pipe\\mynamedpipe

To run a client:

./_build/src/pipecat.native \\\\.\\pipe\\mynamedpipe

Notes

Named pipes have a number of significant differences to Unix domain sockets to be careful. These bindings attempt to disable remote connections and disable security context impersonation but there may be other issues.

Build status

Results of building named-pipe with each compiler on check.ci.ocaml.org, run of against opam-repository 7cdc698. All results for this package.

Each result links to its build log. To keep crawlers from overloading the site, build logs require a GitHub sign-in (see ocurrent/opam-health-check). On your first log, GitHub asks you to “Authorize opam-health-check”, the OCurrent app that runs these checks; it sees only your public profile, not your repositories. The sign-in lasts 30 days.
