Name of Named Pipe Given Handle
Dec 3, 2014 at 5:36pm
I'm trying to retrieve the name of a named pipe given it's handle. For example the handle generated by CreateNamedPipe.
I found a way to do exactly that by creating a duplicate of the handle using NtDuplicateObject and then using NtQueryObject on the duplicate. Sadly I've been told I can't use NtQueryObject because it is unsupported/undocumented like many native API functions.
Are there any alternatives or workarounds? Appreciate any feedback.

To answer my own question here. GetFileInformationByHandleEx does exactly this using FileNameInfo for the FileInformationClass parameter and a handle generated by CreateNamedPipe.
