Unlike * Linux, a NuttX FIFO is not a special file type but simply a device * driver instance. 'mode' specifies the FIFO's permissions. * * Once the FIFO has been created by mkfifo(), any thread can open it for * reading or writing, in the same way as an ordinary file. However, it * must have been opened from both reading and writing before input or * output can be performed. This FIFO implementation will block all * attempts to open a FIFO read-only until at least one thread has opened * the FIFO for writing. * * If all threads that write to the FIFO have closed, subsequent calls to * read() on the FIFO will return 0 (end-of-file). * * Input Parameters: * pathname - The full path to the FIFO instance to attach to or to create * (if not already created). * mode - Ignored for now * * Returned Value: * 0 is returned on success; otherwise, -1 is returned with errno set * appropriately. * ****************************************************************************/ int mkfifo(FAR const char *pathname, mode_t mode) { int ret; ret = nx_mkfifo(pathname, mode, CONFIG_DEV_FIFO_SIZE); if (ret < 0) { set_errno(-ret); ret = ERROR; } return ret; } /**************************************************************************** * Name: mkfifoat * * Description: * The mkfifoat() system call operates in exactly the same way as mkfifo(), * except for the differences described here. * * If the pathname given in pathname is relative, then it is interpreted * relative to the directory referred to by the file descriptor dirfd * (rather than relative to the current working directory of the calling * process) * * If pathname is relative and dirfd is the special value AT_FDCWD, then * pathname is interpreted relative to the current working directory of * the calling process (like mkfifo()). * * If pathname is absolute, then dirfd is ignored. * * Input Parameters: * dirfd - The file descriptor of directory. * path - a pointer to the path. * mode - the access mode. * * Returned Value: * Return zero on success, or -1 if an error occurred (in which case, * errno is set appropriately). * ****************************************************************************/ int mkfifoat(int dirfd, FAR const char *path, mode_t mode) { char fullpath[PATH_MAX]; int ret; ret = lib_getfullpath(dirfd, path, fullpath, sizeof(fullpath)); if (ret < 0) { set_errno(-ret); return ERROR; } return mkfifo(fullpath, mode); } #endif /* CONFIG_PIPES && CONFIG_DEV_FIFO_SIZE > 0 */
