PeekNamedPipe info  Overview  Group

The PeekNamedPipe function copies data from a named or anonymous pipe into a buffer without removing it from the pipe. It also returns information about data in the pipe.

BOOL PeekNamedPipe(

    HANDLE hNamedPipe,

// handle to pipe to copy from

    LPVOID lpBuffer,

// pointer to data buffer

    DWORD nBufferSize,

// size, in bytes, of data buffer

    LPDWORD lpBytesRead,

// pointer to number of bytes read

    LPDWORD lpTotalBytesAvail,

// pointer to total number of bytes available

    LPDWORD lpBytesLeftThisMessage 

// pointer to unread bytes in this message

   );

Parameters

hNamedPipe
Identifies the pipe. This parameter can be a handle to a named pipe instance, as returned by the CreateNamedPipe or CreateFile function, or it can be a handle to the read end of an anonymous pipe, as returned by the CreatePipe function. The handle must have GENERIC_READ access to the pipe.
lpBuffer
Points to a buffer that receives data read from the pipe. This parameter can be NULL if no data is to be read.
nBufferSize
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer specified by the lpBuffer parameter. This parameter is ignored if lpBuffer is NULL.
lpBytesRead
Points to a 32-bit variable that receives the number of bytes read from the pipe. This parameter can be NULL if no data is to be read.
lpTotalBytesAvail
Points to a 32-bit variable that receives the total number of bytes available to be read from the pipe. This parameter can be NULL if no data is to be read.
lpBytesLeftThisMessage
Points to a 32-bit variable that receives the number of bytes remaining in this message. This parameter will be zero for byte-type named pipes or for anonymous pipes. This parameter can be NULL if no data is to be read.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

PeekNamedPipe is similar to the ReadFile function with the following exceptions:

If the specified handle is a named pipe handle in byte-read mode, the function reads all available bytes up to the size specified in nBufferSize. For a named pipe handle in message-read mode, the function reads the next message in the pipe. If the message is larger than nBufferSize, the function returns TRUE after reading the specified number of bytes. In this situation, lpBytesLeftThisMessage will receive the number of bytes remaining in the message.
