    Isn't the point of the creating the pipes so their names can be passed to a child process? If so, create the named pipes using the Windows system call (CreateNamedPipe) instead of mkfifo and pass the name of those pipes to the child process.

      That's what anonymous pipes are used for. Named pipes allow one process to create a named entity that any other unrelated process can find and connect to by going through the file system.
