Documentation

Overview

Package fifo implements functions to create and open a fifo for inter-process communication in an OS agnostic way. A few assumptions should be made when using this package. First, New() must always be called before Open(). Second Open() returns an io.ReadWriteCloser that is only connected with the io.ReadWriteCloser returned from New().
