The reason you are not getting a lot of responses: fifo() is not a standard unix function (not listed by POSIX).
mknod() and mkfifo() are some of the standard functions for this. If you want explanations and examples, start here: Downloads for Advanced Linux Programming Download Chapter 5 Interprocess Communication. It's free.
