DESCRIPTION
     mkfifo creates the FIFOs requested, in the order specified, using mode

	     Set the file permission bits of newly created FIFOs to mode.  The
	     mode argument can be in any of the formats specified to the
	     chmod(1) utility.	If a symbolic mode is specified, the operators
	     `+' and `-' are interpreted relative to an initial mode of
	     ``a=rw''.

EXIT STATUS
     The mkfifo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
