NamedPipes API

[coot]

The PR provides NamedPipes API.

Description

NamesPipes is a Win32 specific API for IPC communication.

Motivation and Context

We have been using NamePipes as an IPC for Windows applications. At the time Unix sockets were not widely supported on Windows. Although this is true now, NamedPipes might still be useful to communicate with existing applications.

Ah sorry I had missed this. Gmail seems to archive the email unless I'm @ in it directly, I haven't been able to figure out how to override that.

Thanks for the addition!

That's ok, thanks for merging.
