S6-MKFIFODIR(8)

✨ S6-MKFIFODIR(8) ✨

okay so real talk, bestie: this is a page from the System Manager's Manual, and it's about s6-mkfifodir 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

s6-mkfifodir — creates an s6-fifodir(7) 🎀 like that's literally the whole job and she does it flawlessly

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s6-mkfifodir [-f] [-g gid] fifodir

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So s6-mkfifodir creates fifodir, and fifodir belongs to the current user 👑 that's it, that's the vibe, no cap.

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -f — Force permissions, periodt 🔥 If fifodir already exists, it changes its permissions according to the -g options. But bestie listen — by default, if fifodir exists, s6-mkfifodir does nothing 😭 like she simply does not perceive it.
• -g gid — Makes fifodir only listenable by members of group gid 🙈 If you don't give this option, the fifodir is made publically listenable, iykyk 🌈

ngl, the default harmless-do-nothing behaviour is giving "i'm not getting involved" energy — if you actually want the permissions fixed you have to pass -f 💀
