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

I did
cat < myFile >> myPipe
I was hoping that if I did ls -l, myPipe would now be holding the contents of myFile, and would be the same size. But it was 0.
Also strange was that when I did the command above, cat did not return control back to the shell. Why?

usb_pipe_get_state(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers usb_pipe_get_state(9F)
NAME
usb_pipe_get_state - Return USB pipe state
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/usb/usba.h>
int usb_pipe_get_state(usb_pipe_handle_t pipe_handle, usb_pipe_state_t *pipe_state, usb_flags_t usb_flags);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)
PARAMETERS
pipe_handle
Handle of the pipe to retrieve the state.
pipe_state
Pointer to where pipe state is returned.
usb_flags
No flags are recognized. Reserved for future expansion.
DESCRIPTION
The usb_pipe_get_state() function retrieves the state of the pipe referred to by pipe_handle into the location pointed to by pipe_state.
Possible pipe states are:
USB_PIPE_STATE_CLOSED
Pipe is closed.
USB_PIPE_STATE_ACTIVE
Pipe is active and can send/receive data. Polling is active for isochronous and interrupt pipes.
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
USB_SUCCESS Pipe state returned in second argument.
USB_INVALID_ARGS Pipe_state argument is NULL.
USB_INVALID_PIPE Pipe_handle argument is NULL.
CONTEXT
May be called from user, kernel or interrupt context.

usb_pipe_handle_t pipe;
usb_pipe_state_t state;
