mkfifo(1M)                       DG/UX R4.11                      mkfifo(1M)


NAME
       mkfifo - make FIFO special file

SYNOPSIS
       mkfifo path ...

DESCRIPTION
       Mkfifo creates the FIFO special files named by its argument list.
       The arguments are taken sequentially, in the order specified; and
       each FIFO special file is either created completely or, in the case
       of an error or signal, not created at all.

       For each path argument, the mkfifo command behaves as if the function
       mkfifo [see mkfifo(3C)] was called with the argument path set to path
       and the mode set to the bitwise inclusive OR of SIRUSR, SIWUSR,
       SIRGRP, SIWGRP, SIROTH and SIWOTH.

       If errors are encountered in creating one of the special files,
       mkfifo writes a diagnostic message to the standard error and
       continues with the remaining arguments, if any.

DIAGNOSTICS
       mkfifo returns exit code 0 if all FIFO special files were created
       normally; otherwise it prints a diagnostic and returns a value
       greater than 0.

SEE ALSO
       mkfifo(3C).
