I'm working on a way to pass file descriptors between processes. I've already got it functioning by using writes to pass the file handle (using get_osfhandle) and the current processId using GetCurrentProcessId
the receiving side then calls Duplicate Handle to create the handle. Then I do a cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd to convert it to a file descriptor. Unfortunately I need to know what kind of handle it is before I can call this. Is there a way to get the type of a file descriptor at runtime (like "/dev/piper" etc.) If there is my problem is solved and I can send you guys the code I wrote.
