"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 --=-=-=--
