I'm reading from a pipe file that I created using mknod -p.

What I'd like to do is when I open up the file or at certain
times, be able to FLUSH any input on this pipe.

I checked ioctl calls, socket calls, include files, and the pipe.c
source code. I could not find anything.

Does anyone know what command I can use for this?
