On macOS and Linux (excluding Android), either theread orwriteportion of the pipe can be transmitted to another process and used forinterprocess communication.

For example:

final pipe = await Pipe.create();final socket = await RawSocket.connect(address, 0);socket.sendMessage(<SocketControlMessage>[SocketControlMessage.fromHandles(    <ResourceHandle>[ResourceHandle.fromReadPipe(pipe.read)])], 'Hello'.codeUnits);pipe.write.add('Hello over pipe!'.codeUnits);await pipe.write.flush();await pipe.write.close();
