Well, I just want to use the RT Pipes as if they are a normal fifo. That
is, the fifo has a bounded amount of memory and if the number of written
bytes exceeds this threshold the data which was firstly written into the
fifo should be dropped. By the way, I am using rt_pipe_write() and
rt_pipe_read() because I just want to exchange simple integer values.
Thanks for help,
