Is it possible to open a named pipe with command line in windows?

Question

I want to interact with the pipe manually, but so far I can only do this in the programe,which is not very intuitive.

The effect I want to achieve is a little similar to:

telnet localhost 3306

tail -f file.txt

Anyone get my idea?

From PowerShell
