Command: dadOpenPipe

 dadOpenPipe name pipename split dataflow [keytable] [-rwgkn]

• The string name defines the name for the PinK object you want to create.
• The pipename can point to a named pipe on the local filesystem which shall be opened for reading/writing. You can also use dadOpenPipe to start child processes connected via unnamed pipes. See the Dad manual entry for details.
• If split is a number greater than 1 (i.e. the user wants to split the pipe), the pipename must contain a substring '%d' where the Dad library will insert the number of the current split branch.
  
• The next argument dataflow gives the ADAMO name of the dataflow you want to access. If you open the connection in multi mode, supply an empty string as dataflow name.
• The keytable may contain the name of the keytable if the -k flag is specified.
• The flags specify the operation mode for the database access. You may use
  • -r for reading information from the server,
  • -w for writing information to the server,
  • -g if the Adamo tables should be generated while connecting to the server,
  • -k for access to the keytable,
  • -m open connection in multi mode,
  • -n if a writing operation would block the method dadWrite will return an aEwouldblock error and skip the record.

• Return value: -
