Re: Questions about (open-input-output-pipe

[Neil Jerram <neiljerram@gmail.com>]

I guess it's because "wg pubkey" has not yet seen EOF on its input, i.e. it
doesn't know that the input is complete.

If that's right, I'm afraid I don't know how to fix it.  Presumably you
need a call that closes half of the port, but still allows reading the "wg
pubkey" output from it.

Alternatively, it might be buffering, i.e. the private key hasn't yet
reached "wg pubkey".  In that case (force-output port) might help.

Best wishes,
    Neil
