eio_mknod

eio_mknod() creates ordinary or special(often) file.

Path for the new node(file).

Specifies both the permissions to use and the type of node to be created. It should be a combination (using bitwise OR) of one of the file types listed below and the permissions for the new node(e.g. 0640). Possible file types are: EIO_S_IFREG(regular file), EIO_S_IFCHR(character file), EIO_S_IFBLK(block special file), EIO_S_IFIFO(FIFO - named pipe) and EIO_S_IFSOCK(UNIX domain socket). To specify permissions EIO_S_I* constants could be used.

If the file type is EIO_S_IFCHR or EIO_S_IFBLK then dev specifies the major and minor numbers of the newly created device special file. Otherwise dev ignored. See mknod(2) man page for details.

The request priority: EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, EIO_PRI_MIN, EIO_PRI_MAX, or NULL. If NULL passed, pri internally is set to EIO_PRI_DEFAULT.

callback function is called when the request is done. It should match the following prototype:

void callback(mixed $data, int $result[, resource $req]);

Arbitrary variable passed to callback.

eio_mknod() returns request resource on success or FALSE on error.

<?php
// FIFO name
$temp_filename = "/tmp/eio-temp-fifo";

/* Is called when eio_mknod() finishes */
function my_mknod_callback($data, $result) {
    $s = stat($data);
    var_dump($s);

    if ($result == 0) {
        echo "eio_mknod_ok";
    }

    @unlink($data);
}

eio_mknod($temp_filename, EIO_S_IFIFO, 0,
    EIO_PRI_DEFAULT, "my_mknod_callback", $temp_filename);
eio_event_loop();
