I have observed that the size of named pipe is always zero....
i am not understood properly we are writing something into fifo
using write() system call...then how can be it 0 ?
and will it be always 0 ?
does it due to the fact that it stores in some part of memory...
or any other reason...
what is an actual reason behind it..!!
A FIFO doesn't hold any data, it only a reference point to join the output of one program to the input of another. The data never actually touches the disks.
