A named pipe works much like a regular pipe, but does have some noticeable
|
|
differences.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<UL><LI> Named pipes exist as a device special file in the file system.<LI> Processes of different ancestry can share data through a named pipe.<LI> When all I/O is done by sharing processes, the named pipe remains in
|
|
the file system for later use.
