Does anyone know if you can 'talk' to a Unix FIFO from within Carbon?
I'd ask this on the Carbon list, but I suspect most Carbon developers
have no need for Unix FIFOs.
You can take advantage of a BSD FIFO from Carbon using the BSD open/read
calls. See man open and read for more info. Much like anything in Unix,
FIFO's are simply files, so any BSD file API can be used to read to and
from them. To make a FIFO, you'll need to use the mkfifo command.
