// Try to open a new Qemu fast-pipe. This function returns a file descriptor
// that can be used to communicate with a named service managed by the
// emulator.
//
// This file descriptor can be used as a standard pipe/socket descriptor.
//
// 'pipeName' is the name of the emulator service you want to connect to,
// and should begin with 'pipe:' (e.g. 'pipe:camera' or 'pipe:opengles').
// For backward compatibility, the 'pipe:' prefix can be omitted, and in
// that case, qemu_pipe_open will add it for you.

// On success, return a valid file descriptor, or -1/errno on failure. E.g.:
//
// EINVAL  -> unknown/unsupported pipeName
// ENOSYS  -> fast pipes not available in this system.
//
// ENOSYS should never happen, except if you're trying to run within a
// misconfigured emulator.
//
// You should be able to open several pipes to the same pipe service,
// except for a few special cases (e.g. GSM modem), where EBUSY will be
// returned if more than one client tries to connect to it.

// end-of-stream.
