[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.)
See REF * SYSIO/Opening for further details.
