Question

How to turn stream from Named Pipe into Socket Stream? (in on Windows) (Share all new data in pipe stream on socket)?

Answer 1

The nice thing of named pipes in Windows is that they already work in a network just specifying the server name in the:

CreateFile("\\ServerName\pipe\PipeName", ...

However, if this not fits your needs, you just have to build a read loop (I suggest OVERLAPPED I/O) that, at every read from the pipe, writes the received data to the socket.
