fixme:win32:PeekNamedPipe

[Mike McCormack]

Hi Michael's,

Implementing PeekNamedPipe will probably be difficult to do properly. 
Named pipes work through unix domain sockets at the moment. The code is 
in dlls/ntdll/sync.c and server/named_pipe.c. (I was the one who wrote 
most of it.)

Unfortunately I don't have time to work on this at the moment, but i can 
give you a few hints on how to procede. You might be able to use 
recvfrom with the MSG_PEEK flag to do it...

Tell me how it goes...

Mike
