You cannot perform memory mapping for interaction between processes. If the MAP_SHARED and PROT_WRITE values are passed to the function through the flags and prot parameters, respectively, the function will return the MAP_FAILED value and will assign the EACCES value to the errno variable. For all other possible values of the prot parameter, the MAP_SHARED value of the flags parameter will be ignored. In addition, you cannot pass combinations of the PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC and PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC flags through the prot parameter. In this case, the function will only return the MAP_FAILED value and will assign the ENOMEM value to the errno variable.

Stub

sys/stat.h

mkfifoat()

Create a special FIFO file (named channel).

Not implemented
