- Subject: Named pipes act like directories
Named pipes under Cygwin 1.7.5 appear to act like directories that
contain nonsense entries.
Under Cygwin:
$ mkfifo /tmp/pipe && ls -l /tmp/pipe /tmp/pipe/no/such/path
prw-rw-rw- 1 jeremy Domain Users 0 2010-06-14 13:57 /tmp/pipe
prw-r----- 1 ???????? ???????? 0 2006-11-30 18:00 /tmp/pipe/no/such/path
Under Linux:
$ mkfifo /tmp/pipe && ls -l /tmp/pipe /tmp/pipe/no/such/path
ls: cannot access /tmp/pipe/no/such/path: Not a directory
prw-r--r-- 1 jeremy dev 0 2010-06-14 14:10 /tmp/pipe
