UnixPipe
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.GLib


.. versionadded:: 2.80




.. class:: UnixPipe(*args, **kwargs)
   :no-contents-entry:






A Unix pipe. The advantage of this type over ``int[2]`` is that it can
be closed automatically when it goes out of scope, using ``g_auto(GUnixPipe)``\,
on compilers that support that feature.
