FIFO module

The fifo module creates a FIFO (or named pipe) in ~/.root-portal/. The name of the fifo is specified by `fifoname'. You can then write data to the FIFO, for example:

# ls > ~/.root-portal/fifo1

Any text written to the FIFO will be sent to the parent of the fifo module.

fifoname

The filename of the FIFO.
