MKFIFO(1)                                                            MKFIFO(1)



NAME
       mkfifo - make FIFOs (named pipes)

SYNOPSIS
       mkfifo[options] file...

       POSIX options: [-m mode][--]

       GNU options (shortest form): [-m mode][--help][--version][--]

DESCRIPTION
       mkfifo  creates  FIFOs  (also  called "named pipes") with the specified
       filenames.

       A "FIFO" is a special file type that permits independent  processes  to
       communicate.   One process opens the FIFO file for writing, and another
       for reading, after which data can flow as with the usual anonymous pipe
       in shells or elsewhere.

       By  default,  the mode of created FIFOs is 0666 ('a+rw') minus the bits
       set in the umask.

OPTIONS
       -m mode,--mode=mode
              Set the mode of created FIFOs to mode, which can be symbolic  as
              in chmod(1) and uses the default mode as the point of departure.

       --     Terminate option list.

GNUSTANDARDOPTIONS
