Path.isFifo

bool isFifo() const

Returns true if the path is a FIFO (named pipe).

Platform semantics:

  • POSIX: Uses stat(2) and checks the file type against S_IFIFO.
  • Windows: Named pipes are not exposed as regular filesystem entries in the same way; this always returns false for API parity.

Inspired by Python's pathlib.Path.is_fifo.

Returns

true if the path is a FIFO, false otherwise.
