Routine Description:
    The CreatePipeEx API is used to create an anonymous pipe I/O device.
    Unlike CreatePipe FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED may be specified for one or
    both handles.
    Two handles to the device are created.  One handle is opened for
    reading and the other is opened for writing.  These handles may be
    used in subsequent calls to ReadFile and WriteFile to transmit data
    through the pipe.
Arguments:
    lpReadPipe - Returns a handle to the read side of the pipe.  Data
        may be read from the pipe by specifying this handle value in a
        subsequent call to ReadFile.
    lpWritePipe - Returns a handle to the write side of the pipe.  Data
        may be written to the pipe by specifying this handle value in a
        subseq
