[erlang-questions] What are the named-pipes in run_erl for?

[Garrett Smith]

It's how run_erl communicates with the Erlang process it starts.

Try

to_erl PIPEDIR/

to attach to the Erlang shell.

You can issue commands by piping them through to_erl to the Erlang
process as well. Pretty cool.

echo "init:stop()." | to_erl PIPEDIR/
