[comp.os.minix] Named pipes in MINIX

rattan@frith.egr.msu.edu (12/29/89)

	I am using MINIX 1.2 to teach the OS course. In the chapter
on file systems (Chapter 5 - excercise 34), there is a mention of 
implementing 'named' pipes in MINIX. Has anybody tried to implement
these named pipes in MINIX? It seems that there is no entry for
S_IFIFO in <stat.h>. Any ideas how it can be done?
