?? How do you expect to recover from an error reading/writing a
pipe? You have EAGAIN, and SIGPIPE to catch. Also, a segment
written to a pipe will never got lost unless the OS is fubar'ed
or one of the ends has closed the stream in which case, there's
probably nothing to do about it (except catch SIGPIPE).
Presumably you want a programming library interface? It's just
not clear what you're really looking for (CRC32?).
