Expand description

Like pipe, but allows setting certain file descriptor flags.

The following flags are supported, and will be set atomically as the pipe is created:

  • O_CLOEXEC: Set the close-on-exec flag for the new file descriptors.
  • O_DIRECT: Create a pipe that performs I/O in “packet” mode.
  • O_NONBLOCK: Set the non-blocking flag for the ends of the pipe.
