[SOLVED] Pipe filename ends on "|" with ARM-processor

[herakles]

Hello folks!

When issueing a "mkfifo /tmp/1"on my laptop(x86), I get this file:

prw-r--r-- 1 root     root      0 2011-04-11 15:09 1

If I issue the same command on a AT91SAM9260(arm), I get this file:

prw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Dec 31 17:00 1|

What could I be doing wrong, since I am getting a pipe "|" in the end of the filename?

Thanks for any hint

I suspect that on your second box, you have "ls" aliased to "ls -F". '-F' causes ls to output special characters after special types of files. * means executable, / means directory, @ means suid (iirc), and | means FIFO. You can see this in the "ls" man page. Try running "/bin/ls /tmp/1" to ignore the alias and see what output you get.

That's it, thank you!
