This library is meant as a low-level library safely exposing different OS's abilities to perform non-blocking I/O.

//! Unix pipes.
//!
//! To create a new pipe use the [`pipe`] function. It will return two
//! [`AsyncFd`]s, the sending and receiving side.

/// Create a new Unix pipe.
///
/// This is a wrapper around Unix's `pipe(2)` system call and can be used as
/// inter-process or thread communication channel.
///
/// This channel may be created before forking the process and then one end used
/// in each process, e.g. the parent process has the sending end to send
/// commands to the child process.
///
/// ```
/// # use std::io;
/// # use a10::pipe::pipe;
/// # use a10::fd;
/// # async fn new_pipe(sq: &a10::SubmissionQueue) -> io::Result<()> {
/// // Creating a new pipe using file descriptors.
/// let [receiver, sender] = pipe(sq.clone()).await?;
///
/// // Using direct descriptors.
/// #[cfg(any(target_os = "android", target_os = "linux"))]
/// let [receiver, sender] = pipe(sq.clone()).kind(fd::Kind::Direct).await?;
/// # Ok(())
/// # }
/// ```
///
/// # Implementation Notes
///
/// On Linux kernels older than 6.16 io_uring doesn't support the creation of a
/// pipe. If the creation fails because of this, we fallback to a synchronous system call.
/// This does mean that the returned fds are regulator file descriptors
/// ([`fd::Kind::File`]), even if [`Pipe::kind`] was used to request direct
/// descriptors.
