} </sourcee> In the first line, an initial component context (factory context) is bootstrapped (see below , how this can be done). The second line retrieves the bootstrapped service manager of the context. The next line creates the service com.sun.star.io.Pipe and returns a reference to XInterface (Note: the operator ->() simply returns the unacquired interface pointer). This service supports XInputStream and XOutputStream , the next lines retrieve these interfaces. The used reference constructor (the magic UNO_QUERY is an element of a dummy enum, that allows to have a 2nd constructor which takes an interface reference as an argument) performs a queryInterface on r for the interface (here XInputStream and XOutputStream), the results are stored within the references.
