fifo_create - create a fifo
#include <zircon/syscalls.h>
zx_status_t zx_fifo_create(uint32_t elem_count, uint32_t elem_size,
uint32_t options,
zx_handle_t* out0, zx_handle_t* out1);
fifo_create() creates a fifo, which is actually a pair of fifos of elem_count entries of elem_size bytes. Two endpoints are returned. Writing to one endpoint enqueus an element into the fifo that the opposing endpoint reads from.
Fifos are intended to be the control plane for shared memory transports. Their read and write operations are more efficient than sockets or channels, but there are severe restrictions on the size of elements and buffers.
The elem_count must be a power of two. The total size of each fifo (elem_count * elem_size) may not exceed 4096 bytes.
The options argument must be 0.
fifo_create() returns ZX_OK on success. In the event of failure, one of the following values is returned.
ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS out0 or out1 is an invalid pointer or NULL or options is any value other than 0.
ZX_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE elem_count or elem_size is zero, or elem_count is not a power of two, or elem_count * elem_size is greater than 4096.
ZX_ERR_NO_MEMORY (Temporary) Failure due to lack of memory.
