/**
 * @class ACE_SPIPE
 *
 * @brief Defines the member functions for the base class of the
 * ACE_SPIPE abstraction.
 *
 * ACE_SPIPE was designed as a wrapper facade for STREAM pipes. On
 * Windows, however, ACE_SPIPE is a wrapper for Named Pipes. Therefore,
 * on Windows, it is better to use the ACE_Proactor or blocking operations
 * in lieu of using the ACE_Reactor.
 *
 * @sa ACE_SPIPE_Acceptor for additional notes on use with ACE_Reactor
 * on Windows.
 *
 * @warning Windows: Works only on Windows NT 4 and higher.
 * @warning Works on non-Windows platforms only when @c ACE_HAS_STREAM_PIPES
 * is defined.
