# Crossplatform Pipe Support

This tiny library is created for crossplatform pipe support. It is needed

|
|
-by the virtual terminal of Free Oberon.
|
|
|
-When a program is being run in the IDE, Free Oberon creates a child process
|
|
|
-and attaches a pipe to its stdin and stdout. This way a program may run
|
|
|
-both in real terminal and inside Free Oberon IDE.

The source code of Free Oberon includes an Oberon binding for this library

-(Term.Mod) and uses it in a cross-platform way.

|
+(Term.Mod), the binding is used as a cross-platform module.
