#15715: problematic openFile with named pipes -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: adp | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries/base | Version: 8.4.3 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Incorrect result | (amd64) at runtime | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by bgamari): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: This is due to the FIFO semantics. To quote `fifo(7)`:
A process can open a FIFO in nonblocking mode. In this case, opening for read-only succeeds even if no one has opened on the write side yet and opening for write-only fails with `ENXIO` (no such device or address)
