Since Mach is derived from BSD instead of System V there is no support for
named pipes per se. What you do is create a unix domain socket with socket()
and then use bind() to bind a (file)name to that socket, you can then use the
name of that socket to read and write to it. Easy huh? ;^)

Here is a slightly modified 386BSD version of mknod.  It supports
FIFOs using the same syntax as suns.
