Subject: Library 4.1 bug/feature?  fopen("fifo","a") fails
Date: 7 Jan 1993 09:10:46 GMT

Is it a bug or a feature that fopen("fifo","a"), where "fifo" is a named
pipe, fails with an 'illegal lseek' in the 4.1 version of the library?
The opinion on comp.std.unix seems to be that there should be no
problem...
