Subject: Portable way for creating FIFOs
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 23:48:57 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <x2mlglb7mx2.fsf@iki.fi> (raw)
Hello,
Is it possible to portably create named pipes in Emacs Lisp? "Portably"
means here "to create in a system that has named pipes". I could use
call-process or something like that with 'mkfifo', but that seems quite
POSIXy thing to do.
(Context: I'm trying to write an EMMS player for mpv, and there FIFO
would be the preferable way to do IPC. But mpv does not create a pipe,
it only opens one.)
Thanks,
Petteri
