* Name: mkfifo
*
* Description:
* mkfifo() makes a FIFO device driver file with name 'pathname.' Unlike
* Linux, a NuttX FIFO is not a special file type but simply a device driver
* instance. 'mode' specifies the FIFO's permissions.
*
* Once the FIFO has been created by mkfifo(), any thread can open it for
* reading or writing, in the same way as an ordinary file. However, it must
* have been opened from both reading and writing before input or output
* can be performed. This FIFO implementation will block all attempts to
* open a FIFO read-only until at least one thread has opened the FIFO for
* writing.
*
* If all threads that write to the FIFO have closed, subsequent calls to
* read() on the FIFO will return 0 (end-of-file).
*
* Inputs:
* pathname - The full path to the FIFO instance to attach to or to create
* (if not already created).
* mode - Ignored for now
*
* Return:
* 0 is returned on success; otherwise, -1 is returned with errno set
* appropriately.
*
