Description krentel 1999-11-18 00:00:01 UTC 
The stat-1.3 port (sysutils) doesn't recognize type FIFO.
Instead, it reports Filetype: "Unknown" and Mode: "?".

In Mark's Humble Opinion, I prefer "FIFO" to "Named Pipe".

P.S. If someone commits this patch, please also take a look
at PR ports/12761 and PR ports/13823 (other minor problems 
with stat).

How-To-Repeat: % mkfifo myfifo
% /usr/local/bin/stat myfifo 
  File: "myfifo"
  Size: 0       Allocated Blocks: 0     Filetype: Unknown
