What Does Named Pipe Mean? A named pipe is a one-way or duplex pipe that provides communication between the pipe server and some pipe clients. A pipe is a section of memory that is used for interprocess communication. A named pipe can be described as first in, first out (FIFO); the inputs that enter first will be output first.
A named pipe differs from an anonymous pipe in that it can exist beyond the life of its associated processes and must be explicitly deleted.
