I had a similar problem but in reverse - I needed multiple readers on
the one fifo. The easiest solution was to have a user space program
read the fifo and then store the data in a separate queue for each
reader. Readers connect via tcp/ip. Doing the same for fifo writes
from user space would be far less complicated - no queues needed.
As an aside, does anyone know of a way to open a socket and link it to a
file?
ie something like
mount -t SOCK 1234 somehost /mnt/rtf1
That would be a nice way to use realtime fifos over a network and use
rtl_debug.o on a remote target. Ideal for minirtl.
