FreeBSD FIFO implementation

1999-08-23 Thread Zhihui Zhang
While looking at the FIFO implementation, I understand that a FIFO is implemented as a socket. But I am not sure where the data in a FIFO is stored (mbuf or filesystem buf structure?) and how it manages the red/write pointers. Can anyone give me a general picture of this? Any help is appreciate
