boost::asio named pipe example in windows

I need to transfer data between processes, I have a local server process and multiple clients process, they may send data and receive data at the same time. Previously, I use the native windows namedpipe to finish this task, however I think Winapi is not friendly to a new programmer. I've heard that boost::asio implement it which is based native windows named pipe.



But I found no example or tutorial about the use of boost::asio::windows::stream_handle, win_iocp_handle_service or somethings related, almost all example are related to tcp and udp. There is no need for me to accomplish it in remote machine, and I just want to find a standard and simple way to use windows named pipe and accomplish asynchronous communication through boost library in local machine.Could any one show me an brief example.

    So using a c++ implementation of a c++ abstraction of a posix abstraction is going to be less confusing to new developers than simply using the native winapi? Especially when the latter is well documented on MSDN?
