File Stream

The most generic IO primitive in most operating systems is a file — not a literal file on a disk, but rather an abstract device which supports read and write operations. The File Stream plugin allows you to work with such files directly.

Use this plugin for:

• Windows named pipe client-side communications
• Windows mailslot client-side communications
• Talking to a custom device driver
• Dumping all data received by another connection to a file on disk (see Session Linking)
