Program for communicating with windows named pipes


I am relatively new to named pipes in windows.

I require a windows tool similar to linux's socat for communicating via named pipes. Can Cygwin's socat access windows named pipes? If so, how?


Solution

  • Figured it out myself quickly enough.

    Used putty and the serial as the connection type. Typed the full pipe name in the serial line box.
