How can I attach to an existing Nvim instance via named pipe?

[ziontee113]

Since the project doesn't support attach function, I tried to hack my way through, but sadly didn't work.

import (
	"log"
	"net"

	"github.com/neovim/go-client/nvim"
)

func WriteToPipe() {
	pipePath := "/mydir/nvim.pipe"
	conn, _ := net.Dial("unix", pipePath)
	defer conn.Close()

	nvim, _ := nvim.New(conn, conn, conn, log.Printf)

	nvim.Command("echo 'Hello, world!'") // the program freezes here

	nvim.Command("vsplit") // this line is never reached
}

Since neovim/go-client doesn't have an attach method, I tried to implement it myself, but the program just stuck.
After echoing Hello World, it freezes and never move on to the next line.

Is there a way that I can ttach to an existing Nvim instance via named pipe? thank you very much

Sorry my bad, should have used Dial instead of New. I skimmed passed it because it was a strange term and the clients in Python and JS uses attach() as the method name.
