-The \fBpipe()\fR function creates an I/O mechanism called a pipe and returns
-two file descriptors, \fIfildes\fR[\fB0\fR] and \fIfildes\fR[\fB1\fR]. The
-files associated with \fIfildes\fR[\fB0\fR] and \fIfildes\fR[\fB1\fR] are
-streams and are both opened for reading and writing.  The \fBO_NDELAY\fR,
-\fBO_NONBLOCK\fR, and \fBFD_CLOEXEC\fR flags are cleared on both file
-descriptors. The \fBfcntl\fR(2) function can be used to set these flags.
+The \fBpipe()\fR and pipe2() functions create an I/O mechanism called a
+pipe and returns two file descriptors, \fIfildes\fR[\fB0\fR] and
+\fIfildes\fR[\fB1\fR]. The files associated with \fIfildes\fR[\fB0\fR]

+The \fBpipe2()\fR call will clear the \fBO_NDELAY\fR on both filedescriptors.
+The \fIflags\fR argument may be used to specify attributes on both file
+descriptors.  \fBpipe2()\fR called with a \fIflags\fR value of 0 will
+behave identically to \fBpipe()\fR.  Values for \fIflags\fR are constructed
+by a bitwise-inclusive-OR of flags from the following list, defined in
