mkfifo creates FIFOs (also called "named pipes") with the
specified filenames.
A "FIFO" is a special file type that permits independent processes to
communicate. One process opens the FIFO file for writing, and another for
reading, after which data can flow as with the usual anonymous pipe in shells
or elsewhere.
By default, the mode of created FIFOs is 0666 (`a+rw') minus the bits set in the
umask.
- -m mode, --mode=mode
- Set the mode of created FIFOs to mode, which can be
symbolic as in chmod(1) and uses the default mode as the point of
departure.

- Terminate option list.
- --help

- --version

successfully.

- Terminate option list.
The variables LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE and LC_MESSAGES have the usual meaning.
