		1241	Both calls can be used for a lot of things, some of which make more sense

		2157	Attempts to query or change the pipe buffer size. Obviously works only
		2158	on pipes, and currently works only on GNU/Linux systems, and fails with
		2159	C<-1>/C<ENOSYS> everywhere else. If anybody knows how to influence pipe buffer

		2163
		2164	This is a direct interface to the Linux L<pipe2(2)> system call. If
		2165	C<$flags> is missing or C<0>, then this should be the same as a call to
		2166	perl's built-in C<pipe> function and create a new pipe, and works on
		2167	systems that lack the pipe2 syscall. On win32, this case invokes C<_pipe
		2168	(..., 4096, O_BINARY)>.
		2169
		2170	If C<$flags> is non-zero, it tries to invoke the pipe2 system call with
		2171	the given flags (Linux 2.6.27, glibc 2.9).
		2172
		2173	On success, the read and write file handles are returned.

		2175	On error, nothing will be returned. If the pipe2 syscall is missing and
		2176	C<$flags> is non-zero, fails with C<ENOSYS>.
		2177
		2178	Please refer to L<pipe2(2)> for more info on the C<$flags>, but at the
		2179	time of this writing, C<IO::AIO::O_CLOEXEC>, C<IO::AIO::O_NONBLOCK> and
		2180	C<IO::AIO::O_DIRECT> (Linux 3.4, for packet-based pipes) were supported.
