module Client: sig .. end
type
A connection to a named pipe server
exception Pipe_busy
A pipe is busy if the server is not ready to accept more connections:
perhaps it is still forking a thread for the previous one. A client
should call the wait function to wait for a free slot.
val openpipe : string -> t
Connect to the named pipe server on the given path (e.g. \\.\pipe\foo).
If the server isn't running then this raises Unix_error(Unix.ENOENT...).
If the server isn't ready to accept a connection then this raises
Pipe_busy, and the client should call wait.
val to_fd : t -> Unix.file_descr
val wait : string -> int -> unit
wait path ms wait for up to ms milliseconds for the server to become
available. Returns when the server has a free slot: in this case
the client should call openpipe again.
