>Description:
the man page for mkfifo(2) says :
--------------
ERRORS
Mkfifo() will fail and no fifo will be created if:
[ENOTSUP] The kernel has not been configured to support fifo's.
--------------
I do not see any FIFO config option in the LINT kernel config file, thus the man page seems to be wrong : it is not possible to compile a FreeBSD kernel without FIFO's
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
the manual lines cited should be removed
