A named pipe client uses the CreateFile function to open a
handle to a named pipe. If the pipe exists but all of its instances are busy,
CreateFile returns zero and the GetLastError function returns
ERROR_PIPE_BUSY. When this happens, the named pipe client uses the WaitNamedPipe function to wait for an
instance of the named pipe to become available.
The CreateFile function fails if the access specified is incompatible
with the access specified (duplex, outbound, or inbound) when the server created
the pipe. For a duplex pipe, the client can specify read, write, or read/write
access; for an outbound pipe (write-only server), the client must specify
read-only access; and for an inbound pipe (read-only server), the client must
specify write-only access.
The handle returned by CreateFile defaults to byte-read mode,
blocking-wait mode, overlapped mode disabled, and write-through mode disabled.
The pipe client can use CreateFile to enable overlapped mode by
specifying FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED or to enable write-through mode by specifying
FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH. The client can use the SetNamedPipeHandleState function
to enable nonblocking mode by specifying PIPE_NOWAIT or to enable message-read
mode by specifying PIPE_READMODE_MESSAGE.
The following example shows a pipe client that opens a named pipe, sets the
pipe handle to message-read mode, uses the WriteFile function to send a
request to the server, and uses the ReadFile function to read the
server's reply. This pipe client can be used with any of the message-type
servers listed at the bottom of this topic. With a byte-type server, however,
this pipe client fails when it calls SetNamedPipeHandleState to change to
message-read mode. Because the client is reading from the pipe in message-read
mode, it is possible for the ReadFile operation to return zero after
reading a partial message. This happens when the message is larger than the read
buffer. In this situation, GetLastError returns ERROR_MORE_DATA, and the
client can read the remainder of the message using additional calls to
ReadFile.
This pipe client can be used with any of the pipe servers listed under See
Also.
