[Ace-users] [ace-users] SPIPE and UPIPE

[Douglas C. Schmidt]

Hi Sid,

Thanks very much for your email.  Please make sure to send all questions
related to ACE to the ACE mailing list or comp.soft-sys.ace newsgroup,
rather than to me directly since I travel frequently and often don't
have ready access to email.  See

http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-mail.html

for more info on how to access these resources.

> Sorry for the dumb question, but what does SPIPE and UPIPE stand for?

SPIPE stands for "Stream Pipes" and "UPIPE" stands for "user-level
Pipes".  

> I didn’t find them documented anywhere and google turns up no results.

BTW, please see the documentation for the ACE_SPIPE class for an
explanation of what it means.

Thanks,

        Doug
