mkfifo

make FIFO (named pipe)

This call creates a FIFO (named pipe) called path with mode mode. It is just a convenient wrapper around mknod.

Unlike with mknod, mode must contain only permissions bits.

The mode actually set is affected by the umask.

This function depends on the feature "mknod". See also feature_available.

Parameters:

this	A GuestfsSession object

Returns:

true on success, false on error
