Doesn't `OPEN_BOTH' do what you want? However, the manual reads: Care should be taken with `OPEN_BOTH', a deadlock will occur if both parent and child are writing, and waiting until the write completes before doing any reading. Each direction has `PIPE_BUF' bytes of buffering (*note Ports and File Descriptors::), which will be enough for small writes, but not for say putting a big file through a filter. A socket pair might be suitable, too.
The problem with the result of open-input-output-pipe is that it is not possible to close one end and leave the other open. (Or is it??)
