This manual page
|

documents the GNU version of
|
|
.BR mkfifo .
|
|
.B mkfifo

|
|
created FIFOs is 0666 minus the bits set in the umask.
|
|
.SS OPTIONS

|
.TP
|
|
.I "\-m, \-\-mode mode"
|
|
Set the mode of created FIFOs to
|
|
.IR mode ,
|

|
departure.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The long-named options can be introduced with `+' as well as `\-\-',
|
|
for compatibility with previous releases. Eventually support for `+'
|
|
will be removed, because it is incompatible with the POSIX.2 standard.
