API-MS-Win-Core-NamedPipe-L1-1-0

All functions in the API-MS-Win-Core-NamedPipe-L1-1-0 set are exports from KERNEL32 or ADVAPI32:

• ConnectNamedPipe
• CreateNamedPipeW
• CreatePipe
• DisconnectNamedPipe
• GetNamedPipeAttribute
• GetNamedPipeClientComputerNameW
• ImpersonateNamedPipeClient (ADVAPI32 only)
• PeekNamedPipe
• SetNamedPipeHandleState
• TransactNamedPipe
• WaitNamedPipeW

The implementations in KERNEL32 and ADVAPI32 version 6.1 and higher are just stubs which transfer the handling to wherever the schema redirects the API Set.

New Locations

Non-trivial implementations of all functions in this API Set are exported from KERNELBASE version 6.1 and higher.

Schema Redirection

The Windows 7 schema redirects this API Set to KERNELBASE. Thus:

• high-level executables, which do not use the API Set, continue to import these functions from KERNEL32 or ADVAPI32;
• low-level executables have their imports from the API Set redirected to KERNELBASE;
• as a particular case of the preceding, the stub implementations in KERNEL32 and ADVAPI32 import from underlying implementations in KERNELBASE.
