pipe files
|
|
|
Hi,
We have an application that works with a pipe file to get his data from/to a
RF scanning device.
I need information how a pipe works, how it is create, how to get
statistics/trace/debug information ... I don't know nothing about it and I
don't like that.;-(
Can someone point me in a direction?
Thanks |

It's been a very long time since I dealt with T64, but I think
they call pipe files 'fifo's on T64.
In fact according to:
http://btrcx1.cip.uni-bayreuth.de/cgi-bin/manpages/mknod/8
you should issue:
mknod /a/b/c/d/pipe p
to create a pipe file in directory /a/b/c. |

Thanks for replying.
However, I was looking for documentation/information what it is, a FIFO or
PIPE file, because I don't now nothing about it. |

Go to a bookstore and pickup any UNIX based internals book and read the
chapter on pipes and named pipes. For all intents and purposes the
behavior of pipes are the same on all UNIX platforms.
