- .short
- Alternative pipe handler (incl. source)
- .description
- The `APipe-Handler' allows you to add the `APIPE:' DOS device to your
- system. This device acts as a pipe between two programs, but in a
- different manner than the standard `PIPE:' device does. This handler
- interprets the text after the `APIPE:' prefix as a command line
- to execute, and the process/command which opens the file indicated
- by the mention of `APIPE:' can now read the standard output or write
- the standard input of the program indicated by the command line
- depending on whether the `APIPE:' file was opened for reading or
- writing, respectively. Thus, the opening an `APIPE:' file is analogous
- to the UNIX `popen()' call, but it is more widely available to the user.\n
- Complete source is included and can be used as an example of a handler.
