  • mkfifo(path, mode=0o666, *, dir_fd=None)
Create a "fifo" (a POSIX named pipe).

If dir_fd is not None, it should be a file descriptor open to
a directory, and path should be relative; path will then be relative to
that directory.
dir_fd may not be implemented on your platform.  If it is unavailable,
using it will raise a NotImplementedError.
Changed in 3.3, 3.6
  • 3.3: Added the dir_fd parameter.
  • 3.6: Accepts a path-like object.
