195=head1 DESCRIPTION
196
de592821 197C<IO::Pipe> provides an interface to creating pipes between
27d4819a 198processes.
199
de592821 200=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
27d4819a 201
202=over 4
203
204=item new ( [READER, WRITER] )
205
d1be9408 206Creates an C<IO::Pipe>, which is a reference to a newly created symbol
7a2e2cd6 207(see the C<Symbol> package). C<IO::Pipe::new> optionally takes two
208arguments, which should be objects blessed into C<IO::Handle>, or a
209subclass thereof. These two objects will be used for the system call
210to C<pipe>. If no arguments are given then method C<handles> is called
211on the new C<IO::Pipe> object.
8add82fc 212
27d4819a 213These two handles are held in the array part of the GLOB until either
8add82fc 214C<reader> or C<writer> is called.

217
218=head1 METHODS
219
220=over 4
8add82fc 221
27d4819a 222=item reader ([ARGS])
8add82fc 223
224The object is re-blessed into a sub-class of C<IO::Handle>, and becomes a
225handle at the reading end of the pipe. If C<ARGS> are given then C<fork>
226is called and C<ARGS> are passed to exec.
227
27d4819a 228=item writer ([ARGS])
8add82fc 229
230The object is re-blessed into a sub-class of C<IO::Handle>, and becomes a
231handle at the writing end of the pipe. If C<ARGS> are given then C<fork>
232is called and C<ARGS> are passed to exec.
233
27d4819a 234=item handles ()
8add82fc 235
236This method is called during construction by C<IO::Pipe::new>
237on the newly created C<IO::Pipe> object. It returns an array of two objects
774d564b 238blessed into C<IO::Pipe::End>, or a subclass thereof.
