NAME¶

new-fifo - (FIFO)

PURPOSE¶

Create FIFO list.

SYNTAX¶

new-fifo <list>

DESCRIPTION¶

new-fifo initializes new FIFO <list> (First In First Out).

<list> contains data stored on a first-in, first out basis. Note that a list is accessible to the current process only.

Information is retrieved (possibly many times, see rewind-fifo) in the same order in which it was stored.

The internal positions for write-fifo and read-fifo actions are separate so you can keep writing data to the list, and read it independently of writes in any number of retrieval passes by using rewind-fifo.

EXAMPLES¶

new-fifo nf
