Linux: Fifo is also known as…?
You use printenv | grip <text> to search for text in
the output from printenv.
Now you have to do about the same thing, but you have to use a FIFO
and run printenv in Terminal 1 and grep in Terminal 2.
What is the second name of a FIFO and what is the
difference between a | and a FIFO?
(| stands between printenv and grep)
The second name of a FIFO is named pipe.
It is a duplex communication pipe used for data transfer between pipe server and pipe clients. Every instance of such a pipe would share one pipe name but have different buffers for communication.
Difference between a | and a FIFO:
| represents pipe. A FIFO and a pipe are very much alike.
