Re: mkfifo question

program1 | programs into two parts using the named fifo.

In this case it depends how your program is doing the processing, whether it processes one file each after downloading or at once after downloading them all.

Hello,

Currently I download a file (which is about 700MB) from wget and place
it in my /tmp and do my task on the file. If I have to work with 10 of
these fies at a single time I have to have 10 files in /tmp;

I was wondering if anyone has a clever idea how I can avoid having all
10 in /tmp and have a pipe or a "virtual file" so the program things
there is actually a file there. Is it possible to fake out the OS
like that?
