A named pipe can be used to establish communication between virtual machines by creating a pipe server in one virtual machine and a pipe client in another virtual machine.
First, create a named pipe in the host operating system that is accessible to both virtual machines. This can be done using the mkfifo command in Linux or using the New-Item command in Windows PowerShell.
In the virtual machine that will act as the pipe server, open a terminal or command prompt and create a process that listens for incoming connections on the named pipe. This can be done using a programming language like Python, C++, or Java.
In the virtual machine that will act as the pipe client, open a terminal or command prompt and create a process that connects to the named pipe and sends/receives data.
With the named pipe and processes in place, the two virtual machines can now communicate with each other over the pipe.
Note: The exact steps for setting up a named pipe will vary depending on the operating systems and tools being used in the virtual machines.
