Example of Windows Named Pipe Communication between Server and Client

服务端代码：

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    HANDLE hPipe = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;
    const char* lpszPipename = ("\\\\.\\pipe\\namedpipe_td");
    do

        hPipe = CreateNamedPipeA(lpszPipename, PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX, PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE | PIPE_READMODE_MESSAGE | PIPE_WAIT, PIPE_UNLIMITED_INSTANCES, 1024, 1024, 0, NULL);
        if (hPipe == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
        {
            cout << "Create Named pipe failed, error: " << hex << GetLastError() << endl;
