Not implemented in the operating system. No. Implemented in the utilities. Yes. The utilities implement this functionality on operating systems which implement that functionality. > I want to FIFO in cygwin(fileutilities version is 4.1.1). You did not say but since you are using Cygwin you are probably running on MS-Windows. Cygwin is a port of GNU Project software to MS-Windows. The Cygwin software port mostly emulates the features of GNU and UNIX-like systems. But as the colloquial expression goes, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You are still using MS-Windows even in the wrapping of the Cygwin environment. MS-Windows does not to my knowledge support FIFOs. (Although I don't really use the systems much and my information there is limited.) Therefore the GNU utilities from the GNU operating system ported MS-Windows can't do anything about it. You would need to get support for named pipes (FIFOs) in the operating system before application software can use them.
