Hi to all,
Please could you tell me if there is any way of using fifo files in full-duplex mode (read and write to at the same time).
My problem is that I want to pass to a fifo file two outputs at the same time - one huge log file via tail -f and the output of some other program in order to be appended to one fifo file which is continuously realtime-processed by a parser I have written in awk. At operation, I lose many log lines due to the fifo on-way locking.
Thank you.
