POSIX specification: @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/mkfifoat.html}
Gnulib module: mkfifoat
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
glibc 2.3.6, MacOS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX
5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw,
Interix 3.5, BeOS.
But the replacement function is not safe to be used in libraries and is not multithread-safe.
