Feasibility of writing a named pipe code in WIndows 10.

[MyCatAlex]

I think I need to set up named pipe for moving a stream of bytes across a solution to a different file. I just read this warning:

Windows 10, version 1709: Pipes are only supported within an app-container; ie, from one UWP process to another UWP process that's part of the same app. Also, named pipes must use the syntax "\\.\pipe\LOCAL\" for the pipe name.

My OS is Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362

Will I have any problems? And what's UWP? Universal Windows Platform? How will I find out if I have one or need one?

Thanks, - MyCatAlex
