$ mkfifo /tmp/fifo
$ mencoder video.avi -ss 00:04:00 -out /tmp/fifo&
$ ffmpeg -i /tmp/fifo i.mp3
The above commands illustrate the ability to read and write to
temporary files without taking any
space on the file system.
Certain commands cannot read from standard input. In such cases you
can use fifo as a method to hold
data until read.
