Java JNA cant find namedpipe functions in Kernel32


So I have this "Beep" function works , but when I try any of namedpipe function it returns :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error looking up function 'WaitNamedPipe': The specified procedure could not be found.

public boolean Beep(int FREQUENCY, int DURATION);
    }

    /**

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        myClass myclass = new myClass () ; 
        myClass myclass2 = new myClass () ; 

        Pointer lpOutBuffer =  myclass.getPointer() ; 
        Pointer lpBytesRead  =myclass2.getPointer()  ; 

        Kernel32 lib = (Kernel32) Native.loadLibrary("kernel32", Kernel32.class);
        //lib.CallNamedPipe("1234TestPipe", 255, 255, lpOutBuffer , 255, lpBytesRead , 5000); 
        lib.Beep(698, 500); // works 
         boolean sucess =   lib.WaitNamedPipe("hgf" ,(int) 5000 ); // does not work 

    }

}

Solution

  • WaitNamedPipe is a #define and is either WaitNamedPipeA or WaitNamedPipeW depending if the caller is using ANSII or UNICODE respectively. Source (see Unicode and ANSI names section): https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365800(v=vs.85).aspx
