Saying "bidirectional pipe" is descriptive too. :-) They're the same thing. As we discussed in great detail here at the time, `pipe' now creates a bidirectional pipe, i.e. it creates a socketpair and does not call shutdown. This follows what `pipe' nowadays does on FreeBSD, Solaris, and some other systems. (And of course, it's a feature got by just doing less rather than adding anything.) _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
