Hi,
I am a newbie to c++ and I am looking for examples in using pipes
for IPC communication. My two processes are independent and they
cannot use a unnamed pipe, so I am looking for examples that can teach
me about named pipe. I Googled a little and nothing turned out useful.
Any pointers appreciated.

thanks

It has nothing to do with C++; C++ as such doesn't know anything
about named pipes. You'll have to check with a group specific
to your OS. (On some OS's, of course, you can use a named pipe
exactly as if it were a file, e.g. with [io]fstream. Even then,
however, you'd probably have to be careful about flushing and
such. I'm not sure that the use would be totally transparent.)
