Here is my problem: I have a third-party Win32 application with independent source code that acts as a server for other programs through named pipes, that is, expects its clients to do something like this:
HANDLE h = CreateFile("\\\\.\\pipe\\$pipe_name$", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, etc...);
TransactNamedPipe(h, buf, etc...);
CloseHandle(h);
This application works fine in WINE, except that I cannot communicate with it. So here is my question:
What exactly does WINE do when it is asked to open the handset? Does this, say, map it to some FIFO file in ~ / .wine / or anywhere? Is there any way to communicate with such a program from a Linux application? Google knows nothing about this.
Thank.
