-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm working on a program running in Linux that is written in Mono. The program creates an IPC server channel (named pipe) and listens for incoming communications. I notice that if I create a named pipe using mkfifo it looks like this in the /tmp file system: prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2010年12月19日 11:50 mkfifo-named-pipe but when the program runs it creates an entry in the file system that looks like this: srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2010年12月19日 11:32 program-named-pipe Sometimes it appears in the ls output as program-named-pipe= (with a trailing "=".) What kind of pipe is identified by a leading "s" instead of "p"? In any case, I cannot write to that program-named-pipe. If I try like this: echo "test" > program-named-pipe I end up with a regular file by the same name. Any ideas what I'm seeing? Is this a different kind of named pipe or some entirely different type of beast?
