Example
|
| CallNamedPipe |
Connects to a message-type pipe, writes to and reads from the pipe, and then closes the pipe. |
|
| ConnectNamedPipe |
Enables a named pipe server process to wait for a client process to connect to an instance of a named pipe. |
|
| CreateNamedPipe |
Creates an instance of a named pipe and returns a handle for subsequent pipe operations. |
|
| CreatePipe |
Creates an anonymous pipe, and returns handles to the read and write ends of the pipe. |
|
| CreateThread |
Creates a thread to execute within the virtual address space of the calling process. |
|
| DisconnectNamedPipe |
Disconnects the server end of a named pipe instance from a client process. |
|
| FlushFileBuffers |
Flushes the buffers of a specified file and causes all buffered data to be written to a file. |
|
| GetLastError |
Retrieves the calling thread's last-error code value. The last-error code is maintained on a per-thread basis. |
|
| GetNamedPipeHandleState |
Retrieves information about a specified named pipe. The information returned can vary during the lifetime of an instance of the named pipe. |
|
| GetNamedPipeInfo |
Retrieves information about the specified named pipe. |
|
| PeekNamedPipe |
Copies data from a named or anonymous pipe into a buffer without removing it from the pipe. It also returns information about data in the pipe. |
|
| ReadFile |
Reads data from a file, and starts at the position that the file pointer indicates. You can use this function for both synchronous and asynchronous operations. |
|
| SetLastError |
Sets the last-error code for the calling thread. |
|
| SetNamedPipeHandleState |
Sets the read mode and the blocking mode of the specified named pipe. |
|
| TransactNamedPipe |
Combines the functions that write a message to and read a message from the specified named pipe into a single network operation. |
|
| WaitNamedPipe |
Waits until either a time-out interval elapses or an instance of the specified named pipe is available for connection. |
