NAME
mkfifo - make FIFOs (named pipes)
SYNOPSIS
mkfifo
[-m mode] [--mode=mode] path...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page
documents the GNU version of
mkfifo.
mkfifo
creates a FIFO with each given name. By default, the mode of
created FIFOs is 0666 minus the bits set in the umask.
OPTIONS
- -m, --mode mode
-
Set the mode of created FIFOs to
mode,
which is symbolic as in chmod and uses the default mode as the point of
departure.
The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as `--',
for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually support for `+'
will be removed, because it is incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
