Hi,
does anyone know any kind of class from the .NET framework
which works like unix pipes?
Windows has NamedPipes. You have to create, and open a NamedPipe using
P/Invoke (CreateNamedPipe to create, CreateFile to open), but once you have
a handle to a pipe, you can use the FileStream(IntPtr...) constructor to
wrap it in a normal .NET IO.FileStream.
More generally .NET has Stream, which in a abstracttion for files, sockets,
etc.
