Title: Pipes and Forks?
Post by: AeroASM on June 18, 2005, 01:52:28 PM

I know how to use a Pipe: you get two handles, and when you write to one end you can read from the other.

Is there any way to create a Fork? Where there are three handles, and you can write to two of them and read from one, or write to one and read from the other two?

Set bInheritHandle to TRUE for CreatePipe and call DuplicateHandle on one of the created handles to create your 'fork'.

Why would you want a 'fork'? How would it help?
