PipeAccessRights

enum System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights

strong

Defines the access rights to use when you create access and audit rules.

Enumerator
ReadData	Specifies the right to read data from the pipe. This does not include the right to read file system attributes, extended file system attributes, or access and audit rules.
WriteData	Specifies the right to write data to a pipe. This does not include the right to write file system attributes or extended file system attributes.
ReadAttributes	Specifies the right to read file system attributes from a pipe. This does not include the right to read data, extended file system attributes, or access and audit rules.
WriteAttributes	Specifies the right to write file system attributes to a pipe. This does not include the right to write data or extended file system attributes.
ReadExtendedAttributes	Specifies the right to read extended file system attributes from a pipe. This does not include the right to read data, file system attributes, or access and audit rules.
WriteExtendedAttributes	Specifies the right to write extended file system attributes to a pipe. This does not include the right to write file attributes or data.
CreateNewInstance	Specifies the right to create a new pipe. Setting this right also sets the F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.Synchronize right.
Delete	Specifies the right to delete a pipe.
ReadPermissions	Specifies the right to read access and audit rules from the pipe. This does not include the right to read data, file system attributes, or extended file system attributes.
ChangePermissions	Specifies the right to change the security and audit rules that are associated with a pipe.
TakeOwnership	Specifies the right to change the owner of a pipe. Note that owners of a pipe have full access to that resource.
Synchronize	Specifies whether the application can wait for a pipe handle to synchronize with the completion of an I/O operation.
FullControl	Specifies the right to exert full control over a pipe, and to modify access control and audit rules. This value represents the combination of all rights in this enumeration.
Read	Specifies the right to read from the pipe. This right includes the F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.ReadAttributes, F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.ReadData, F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.ReadExtendedAttributes, and F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.ReadPermissions rights.
Write	Specifies the right to write to the pipe. This right includes the F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.WriteAttributes, F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.WriteData, and F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.WriteExtendedAttributes rights.
ReadWrite	Specifies the right to read and write from the pipe. This right includes the F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.ReadAttributes, F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.ReadData, F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.ReadExtendedAttributes, F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.ReadPermissions, F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.WriteAttributes, F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.WriteData, and F:System.IO.Pipes.PipeAccessRights.WriteExtendedAttributes rights.
AccessSystemSecurity	Specifies the right to make changes to the system access control list (SACL).

PipeDirection

enum System.IO.Pipes.PipeDirection

strong

Specifies the direction of the pipe.

Enumerator
In	Specifies that the pipe direction is in.
Out	Specifies that the pipe direction is out.
InOut	Specifies that the pipe direction is two-way.

Definition at line 5 of file PipeDirection.cs.

PipeOptions

enum System.IO.Pipes.PipeOptions

strong

Provides options for creating a T:System.IO.Pipes.PipeStream object. This enumeration has a T:System.FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Enumerator
None	Indicates that there are no additional parameters.
WriteThrough	Indicates that the system should write through any intermediate cache and go directly to the pipe.
Asynchronous	Indicates that the pipe can be used for asynchronous reading and writing.

Definition at line 6 of file PipeOptions.cs.

PipeTransmissionMode

enum System.IO.Pipes.PipeTransmissionMode

strong

Specifies the transmission mode of the pipe.

Enumerator
Byte	Indicates that data in the pipe is transmitted and read as a stream of bytes.
Message	Indicates that data in the pipe is transmitted and read as a stream of messages.

Definition at line 5 of file PipeTransmissionMode.cs.
