What I read today about UNIX’s pipes:
If multiple processes are writing to a single pipe, then it is
guaranteed that their data won’t be intermingled if they write no more
than PIPE_BUF bytes at a time.
Does it apply to named pipes also known as FIFOs?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, FIFOs behave like pipes in that regard, and POSIX states that PIPE_BUF applies to them.
