Hi Guys,
Thanks anyways to all who responded. They advise me to use mkfifo command.
This file is not a fifo device file.
Actually, I've done some research through internet and here's what I found.
So basically, this socket device file cannot be created manually. Just like
to share this information to everyone.
Sockets
Sockets are the means for UNIX to network with other machines. Typically,
this is done using network ports; however, the file system has a provision
to allow for interprocess communication through socket files. (A popular
program that uses this technique is the X Windows system.) You rarely have
to deal with this kind of file and should never have to create it yourself
(unless you're writing the program). If you need to remove a socket file,
use the rm command. Socket files are identified by their permission settings
beginning with an s character. An ls -l on a socket file looks something
like this:
srwxrwxrwx 1 root admin 0 May 10 14:38 X0
Regards,
Ruby
