/*
* call-seq:
* IO.pipe -> array
*
* Creates a pair of pipe endpoints (connected to each other) and
* returns them as a two-element array of <code>IO</code> objects:
* <code>[</code> <i>read_file</i>, <i>write_file</i> <code>]</code>. Not
* available on all platforms.
*
* In the example below, the two processes close the ends of the pipe
* that they are not using. This is not just a cosmetic nicety. The
* read end of a pipe will not generate an end of file condition if
* there are any writers with the pipe still open. In the case of the
* parent process, the <code>rd.read</code> will never return if it
* does not first issue a <code>wr.close</code>.
*
* rd, wr = IO.pipe
*
* if fork
* wr.close
* puts "Parent got: <#{rd.read}>"
* rd.close
* Process.wait
* else
* rd.close
* puts "Sending message to parent"
* wr.write "Hi Dad"
* wr.close
* end
*
* <em>produces:</em>
*
* Sending message to parent
* Parent got: <Hi Dad>
