Issue #11536 has been reported by Akira Tanaka. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11536: File.mkfifo https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11536 * Author: Akira Tanaka * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- I'd like to add File.mkfifo. It is useful for tests. FIFO is tricky: open() can block. So it is troublesome and tests can prevent problems. mkfifo() is defined POSIX. Non-POSIX platform may not have it. If we provide File.mkfifo, we can check the availability as File.respond_to? :mkfifo. Current way, mkfifo command invocation, is difficult to determine the availability. This availability checking eases test condition. So this (non-implemented) method can be useful for non-POSIX platforms. Several people requested File.mkfifo. ruby-talk:92371, ruby-core:15675, ruby-list:49868 nobu and Hongli Lai implemented it: ruby-talk:91735 and ruby-core:15822 -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
