Currently, this is focused on accessing named pipes and other file handles, and +for using named pipes as a net transport. + +This code relies on IO completion ports to avoid blocking IO on system threads, allowing Go +to reuse the thread to schedule another goroutine. This limits support to Windows Vista and +newer operating systems. This is similar to the implementation of network sockets in Go's net +package. + +Please see the LICENSE file for licensing information. + +Thanks to natefinch for the inspiration for this library. See https://github.com/natefinch/npipe +for another named pipe implementation. -- cgit v1.2.3
