/*
|
||||
Create an anonymous pipe.
|
||||
|
||||
This procedure creates an anonymous pipe, returning two ends of the pipe, `r`
|
||||
and `w`. The file `r` is the readable end of the pipe. The file `w` is a
|
||||
writeable end of the pipe.
|
||||
|
||||
Pipes are used as an inter-process communication mechanism, to communicate
|
||||
between a parent and a child process. The child uses one end of the pipe to
|
||||
write data, and the parent uses the other end to read from the pipe
|
||||
(or vice-versa). When a parent passes one of the ends of the pipe to the child
|
||||
process, that end of the pipe needs to be closed by the parent, before any data
|
||||
is attempted to be read.
|
||||
|
||||
Although pipes look like files and is compatible with most file APIs in package
|
||||
os2, the way it's meant to be read is different. Due to asynchronous nature of
|
||||
the communication channel, the data may not be present at the time of a read
|
||||
request. The other scenario is when a pipe has no data because the other end
|
||||
of the pipe was closed by the child process.

Check if the pipe has any data.
|

|

This procedure checks whether a read-end of the pipe has data that can be
|
||||
read, and returns `true`, if the pipe has readable data, and `false` if the
|
||||
pipe is empty. This procedure does not block the execution of the current
|
||||
thread.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: If the other end of the pipe was closed by the child process, the
|
||||
`.Broken_Pipe`
|
||||
can be returned by this procedure. Handle these errors accordingly.
