Unlike CreatePipe FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED may be specified for one or both handles. Two handles to the device are created. One handle is opened for reading and the other is opened for writing. These handles may be used in subsequent calls to ReadFile and WriteFile to transmit data through the pipe. Arguments: lpReadPipe - Returns a handle to the read side of the pipe. Data may be read from the pipe by specifying this handle value in a subsequent call to ReadFile. lpWritePipe - Returns a handle to the write side of the pipe. Data may be written to the pipe by specifying this handle value in a subsequent call to WriteFile. lpPipeAttributes - An optional parameter that may be used to specify the attributes of the new pipe. If the parameter is not specified, then the pipe is created without a security descriptor, and the resulting handles are not inherited on process creation. Otherwise, the optional security attributes are used on the pipe, and the inherit handles flag effects both pipe handles. nSize - Supplies the requested buffer size for the pipe. This is only a suggestion and is used by the operating system to calculate an appropriate buffering mechanism. A value of zero indicates that the system is to choose the default buffering scheme. Return Value: TRUE - The operation was successful. FALSE/NULL - The operation failed. Extended error status is available using GetLastError. --*/ { HANDLE ReadPipeHandle, WritePipeHandle; DWORD dwError; CHAR PipeNameBuffer[ MAX_PATH ]; // Only one valid OpenMode flag - FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED if ((dwReadMode | dwWriteMode) & (~FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED)) { SetLastError(ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER); return FALSE; } // Set the default timeout to 120 seconds if (nSize == 0) { nSize = 4096; } sprintf( PipeNameBuffer, "\\\\.\\Pipe\\Win32PipesEx.%08x.%08x", GetCurrentProcessId(), PipeSerialNumber++ ); ReadPipeHandle = CreateNamedPipeA( PipeNameBuffer, PIPE_ACCESS_INBOUND | dwReadMode, PIPE_TYPE_BYTE | PIPE_WAIT, 1, // Number of pipes nSize, // Out buffer size nSize, // In buffer size 120 * 1000, // Timeout in ms lpPipeAttributes ); if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE == ReadPipeHandle) { return FALSE; } WritePipeHandle = CreateFileA( PipeNameBuffer, GENERIC_WRITE, 0, // No sharing lpPipeAttributes, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | dwWriteMode, NULL // Template file ); if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE == WritePipeHandle) { dwError = GetLastError(); CloseHandle( ReadPipeHandle ); SetLastError(dwError); return FALSE; } *lpReadPipe = ReadPipeHandle; *lpWritePipe = WritePipeHandle; return( TRUE ); }
