[UNIX] HELP SYSPIPE Mark Rubinstein, July 1985. syspipe(org) -> din -> dout; Creates a UNIX pipe and returns input and output device records for it. Permissible values for ORG are: <false> - This will optimise the device for single character i/o. <true> - This will optimise the device for reads and writes of more than one byte at a time. "line" or "record" - This will mean that a SYSREAD of N bytes from the device will only read up to the next newline character. (SYSREAD will return the number of charcters read.)
