In this video, we dive deep into Named Pipes (mkfifo) in Linux and C programming.
You will learn:
✅ What are Named Pipes (FIFO)?
✅ Difference between pipes and named pipes
✅ How to create a FIFO using mkfifo() command and C code
✅ Real-time demonstration of communication between unrelated processes
✅ Practical example in C using open(), write(), and read()
Named Pipes (also called FIFOs) are an important concept in Linux Interprocess Communication (IPC) and are frequently asked in interviews. This tutorial will help you understand and practice them with hands-on coding.
