/dev/desu

Name: Anonymous 2008-05-08 18:41

i would like to have /dev/desu on leenux, an "infinite" file that only outputs DESUDESUDESUDESUDESU etc. pp.

is it possible to create that via mkfifo ?

Fifo is faggotry, but making it work right is trivial.  I refer you to my first post, >>20.  You can even do it without leaving an extra process around, à la >>22.  The only real differences between a character device and a socket are 1) devices require potentially-dangerous always-resident unportable kernel code, 2) devices support custom ioctls, which we don't use, and 3) devices require fewer context switches, making them desirable for heavily-used services, which this is unlikely to be.
