Read / write from named pipes in mono / Linux

Question

I would like to read / write from the named / FIFo queue under Linux. I tried the standard StreamWriter classes and other classes from System.IO, but it fails because it uses a search. Has anyone ever written / read from a named pipe using Mono ?. I can read and write, but not at the same time ...

Answer 1

You will need to open up individual readers and writers; for some reason, Mono treats FIFOs as if they were searchable (this is a mistake), although they are not.
