Wouldn't it be possible to call getsockopt(), and if it returns ENOTSOCK
(WSAENOTSOCK), then it is a pipe?

I read reports that this didn't work in Wine. Not that I care that
much about Wine.

What does it mean that "it does not work"? Is it that it does not return
ENOTSOCK, so that we mistake pipes as sockets?

Yes, according to the gnulib sources[1], getsockopt returns 0 for pipes.
