Reading and Writing on Pipes

The class GATPipe realizes the interface GATInterface_IStreamable. As one will remember, in Chapter we found that the class GATFileStream realized the interface GATInterface_IStreamable. As a result of this fact, we were able to read and write to GATFileStream instances using the various utility functions created expressly for that purpose. As GATPipe realizes the same interface, we can use these same utility functions to read and write to a GATPipe instance.
