Hello, all. Three questions: 1> What, if anything, can I do in a Haskell program to do blocking reads from a Linux FIFO? For the curious, there is a small program below that doesn't block, but immediately terminates because of an EOF 2> How could I have found the answer to this question on my own? (The documentation that Google found for me was not completely adequate) 3> Is this sort of question generally regarded as too unixy or not haskelly enough to be appropriate for this mailing list? Thanks. --BEGIN PROGRAM-- module Main () where import Control.Monad import System.IO import System.Posix.Files pipeString = "/tmp/dld.fifo" main :: IO () main = do createNamedPipe pipeString $ unionFileModes ownerReadMode ownerWriteMode pipe <- openFile pipeString ReadMode forever (hGetLine pipe >>= putStrLn) -- mac
