NSPipe

NSPipe Mac OS X 10.0

This class provides an interface to objects that represent Unix pipes that can be used to transfer data between applications. Pipes are one-way communication channels with a read-end and a write-end. NSFileHandle objects representing these ends of the pipes are obtained by invoking fileHandleForReading and fileHandleForWriting.
