[19:06:11] marcos@MOZART~ mkfifo -m 600 /tmp/.$$
mkfifo: cannot create fifo ``/tmp/.119'': Function not implemented

mkfifo version 4.1 doesn't work?

Do I need to update fileutils to get this function implemented?

I'm really surprised, why is there an executable mkfifo if it's not
implemented?


TIA,
m4c.

Well I expected more verbosity... I mean why is this not implemented? NTFS
restrictions? Will it be implemented in the future?

I have a backup script that uses mkfifo. Obviously it is ported from a
LinBox and I wanted to use it on cygwin.

You can find more verbosity in the ML's archives, I bet.

It won't help since there are no named pipes (yet) in Cygwin.
