Named Pipes - LOCAL DosWaitNmPipe - AWAIT AVAIL. OF PIPE INSTANCE

AX = 5F38h
DS:DX -> pipe name
BX:CX = timeout value

Return:
CF clear if successful CF set if error AX = error code

Notes: When a client gets a return code of ERROR_PIPE_BUSY on attempting to open a pipe, it should issue this call to wait until the pipe instance becomes available again; on return from this call, the client must attempt to open the pipe once again. This function was introduced by LAN Manager but is also supported by the Novell DOS Named Pipe Extender, Banyan VINES, OS/2 Virtual DOS Machines, and others
