Hi all,

I need to create a file called expres.dmp which ends up in a file called expres.dmp.Z (which is, as the name suggests, compressed). I noticed (in a working situation) that the first file has the attribute 'p' set.
How can I create this??

Hi,
That kind of "file" is a pipe. Take a look at
#man 1M mknod
to find out how to create these.

Regards,
Tom

I think you want to take a look at mkfifo.
