pipe-server is undocumented, and i can't figure out how to make it work. assuiming it creates a unix pipe, while i have the event loop running with a pipe-server i would expect to be able to send data over the pipe externally, with something like so:
(as:with-event-loop ()
;; IPC pipe listener
(as:pipe-server "my-pipe"
(lambda (sock data)
(format t "Received data on IPC pipe: ~a~%" data)
(as:write-socket-data sock "OK" :write-cb #'as:close-socket)))
$ echo "hello world" > my-pipe
however, if i run that lisp code and try to write to the pipe as described, I get this error:
$ echo "hello world" > ./my-pipe
warning: An error occurred while redirecting file './my-pipe'
open: No such device or address
this is in spite of there clearly being a file at ./my-pipe.
Could I get some clarification on how exactly this is supposed to work?
