  //    UNIX FIFOs are also known Named Pipes, which are totally
  //    unrelated to Win32 Named Pipes.  If you want to use a local
  //    IPC mechanism that will be portable to both UNIX and Win32,
  //    take a look at the <ACE_SPIPE_*> classes.

  // flags.

  int close (void);
  // Close down the ACE_FIFO without removing the rendezvous point.
