Pipes and other non-regular files

nivekuil opened this issue 8 years ago · 1 comments

The current behavior is to loudly fail when =rip= encounters a non-regular file, like those produced by =mkfifo= or =mknod=. Is there a safe and consistent way to deal with these?

Added a special case for fifos, which is probably the only special filetype that people will encounter. Further cases should be pretty easy to address.
