note 77928 added to function.posix-mkfifo

This is still not a solution: if I listen to commands on a pipe and output status on a separate pipe, PHP will block on both opens because something else has not already connected to this pipe. Because I can't do a low-level fcntl() to to set O_NONBLOCK or something like it, this always locks up and is really stupid. The only way I can get it to work is to spawn seperate subshells with system() and have them cat, or echo respectively and then the pipes work properly...usually? Its alot of trouble that we can't set the blocking on the open!! ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 71.14.94.170 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.posix-mkfifo.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77928 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77928/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77928/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77928/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77928/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77928/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77928/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77928 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77928 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
