If you're talking about UNIX pipes, maybe it's possible.
If by "pipe" you're meaning "connection" as in "internet socket
connection" or "network connection", then I'm pretty sure it is not
possible: You can have any kind of app on the other side of an
connection... you have no knowledge (by looking at layer3/4 of networking
protocols) of wich (layer-7) application is on the other side...
