- Pipes are a way for multitasking proceses to exchange data.
-
- To install the PowerDOS PIPE.DEV do the following.
-
- Add a line to the end of your PowerDOS CONFIGUR file that states:
- #PIPE.DEV $BUFFERSIZE
-
- BUFFERSIZE = the size of the pipe in 1/2 K bytes.
-
- Then copy the PIPE.DEV file to your PowerDOS folder.
-
- Reboot your system and Pipes will be installed.
-
- Talking to a pipe:
-
- To talk to a pipe you use it just like a file.
-
- IE:
- Open the file "PIPE:\TEST.PIP"
- write to it.
- close it.
- The other application can have the same file opened for read and get the
- data from the pipe you wrote.
-
- NOTE:
- The pipe is a Circle file made in memory. When you have filled the
- file to its preset size (BUFFERSIZE*512 bytes) the Pipe will
- overwrite the old data starting at byte 1.
