Operating systems use this convention to manage " "interprocess communication through processes reading and " "writing the FIFO. The FIFO can be accessed by unrelated " "processes, in contrast to the more well-known command line " "redirection mechanism (e.g. UNIX\'s \'ps -eaf | grep foo\', " "also known as an \"unnamed pipe\"). An exemplary operating " "system implementation (using the FIFO concept) is the UNIX " "S_IFIFO file type." )] class CIM_FIFOPipeFile : CIM_LogicalFile { };
