 | | Just like pipes, FIFOs can have multiple processes writing to them. However, if this is the case, each writer must be careful to keep his writes no larger than PIPE_BUF bytes, or the data from multiple processes will become intermixed. In Solaris 2.x, FIFOs are full-duplex communications channels that allow bidirectional communication, but this behavior is not standard, and should not be relied upon if portability is an issue. | |
