From 9cfbb5aa82fc9ff49b1468bfad9d446eecb207c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Corinna Vinschen Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2021 10:50:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Cygwin: _pipe: add a comment I wasted valuable minutes of my life just to find out why we export this weird version of pipe. In the pre-2000 era the idea was Cygwin could be used as drop-in replacement for msvcrt.dll, apparently.
