I have temporary file and I want to create a backup pipe file which will allow me to process the file without loosing anything.

It is making a tar archive on a remote location.
Can I change the remote location to a location that I want?


Is using pipe the right thing when processing temporary files?

Thanks

USB_PIPE_STATE_IDLE Polling is stopped for isochronous and interrupt-IN pipes. USB_PIPE_STATE_ERROR An error occurred. Client must call usb_pipe_reset(). Note that this status is not seen by a client driver if USB_ATTRS_AUTOCLEARING is set in the request attributes. USB_PIPE_STATE_CLOSING Pipe is being closed. Requests are being drained from the pipe and other cleanup is in progress. RETURN VALUES
