what is the difference between two processes communicating through a normal file discriptor and a fifo pipe discriptor ?
p0:
mkfifo("myfifo",....)
int fd=open("myfifo",O_RDONLY..)
read("myfifo",buff...)p1:
int fd=open("myfifo",O_WRONLY..)
write("myfifo",buff....)---------------------------------------------------
p0:
int fd=open("file",O_CREAT|O_RDONLY..)
read("file",buff...)p0:
int fd=open("file",O_WRONLY..)
write("file",buff...)
is it only the blocking mechanizim ?
