Comment by luckman212 1 month ago would very much like to see a small example of how to create, consume, and destroy those FIFOs... 3 comments luckman212 Reply stouset 1 month ago https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/mkfifo.1.htmlPretty simple. This creates a named pipe. One end of a shell command redirects to it, one end redirects from it. rm when finished. akdev1l 1 month ago You can just use process substitutioncat <(secret-print my-secret) SoftTalker 1 month ago In a shell script situation, you'd typically trap EXIT and ERR and remove the fifo in the handler.

You can just use process substitution
cat <(secret-print my-secret)
In a shell script situation, you'd typically trap EXIT and ERR and remove the fifo in the handler.
