10.57.10 mkfifo ¶

POSIX specification:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/mkfifo.html

Gnulib module: mkfifo

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

• This function mishandles trailing slash on some platforms: FreeBSD 7.2, Solaris 9.
• This function is missing on some platforms; however, the replacement always fails with ENOSYS: mingw, MSVC 14, Android 4.4.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• If the argument exists and is a directory, this function fails with EISDIR instead of the correct EEXIST: HP-UX 11.11.
