+ * Currently, you can only connect pipes in portal. Pipes are unidirectional.
+ * But with portal, you can construct a bidirectional device with two pipes.
+ * The inner connection is just like this:
+ *
+ *   portal0        portal1
+ * read   ||        || write
+ * <--<---||<---<---||<---<-- (pipe0)
+ *        ||        ||
+ * -->--->||--->--->||--->--> (pipe1)
+ * write  ||        || read
+ *
+ * You will always construct two portals on two pipes, say, "portal0" and
+ * "portal1". Data written into "portal0" can be retrieved in "portal1" and
+ * vice versa. `rx_indicate` and `tx_complete` events are propagated
+ * accordingly.
+ *
+ * @param portal the portal device
+ * @param portal_name the name of the portal device
+ * @param write_dev the name of the pipe device that this portal write into
+ * @param read_dev the name of the pipe device that this portal read from
+ *
+ * @return the operation status, RT_EOK on successful. -RT_ENOSYS on one pipe
+ * device could not be found.
