Named pipes

Anyone have any experience using named pipes in QNX?

I followed this article:

cs.fredonia.edu/zubairi/s2k2 … pipes.html

In QNX 6.5 it hangs when opening the pipe. Is there anything special about reading and writing to named pipes in QNX? Or is it just something I’m doing wrong?

Turns out you need to set a few flags to get is to work: O_NOCTTY and O_NDELAY.
