I just noticed that netpipes doesn't support bidirectional pipes.
|
|
So I made my own version.
|
|
Now I can say in computer A that "plis 12345 -io ohjelma" and in computer B that "pcon A 12345 -io ohjelma2",
|
|
and they communicate together then.
|
|
My example utilization was that I can send the picture of SNES-emulator to another
|
|
computer via network, and grab the keyboard input there, so get two consoles to
|
|
the same game.
|
|
My friend wanted to watch when I play FF6, but didn't want to sit next to my monitor,
|
|
and asked if he could get the picture to his monitor.
|
|
And he got it.
|
|
Then he asked if he could play it from his computer at the same time as me...
|
|
And now it works too.
|
|
Other ways of use can everybody invent theirselves.
|
|
It's really easy to make simple server software with this.
|
|
For example, do "plis 79 -io finger" and then you have a finger-service.
|
|
Or "plis 5555 -o 'cat signature'" and then port 5555 gives your signature.
