S_IFPIPE appears to be made up by Modula-3.<BR>S_IFPORT appears to be made up by Modula-3 as a synonym for S_IFIFO.<BR>

PROPOSED:<BR>
<BR>This code:<BR>
D:\dev2\cm3.2\m3-libs\libm3\src\os\POSIX\FilePosix.i3(36): error if "fd" is not "S_IFPIPE", "S_IFPORT", or "S_IFSOCK". *)<BR>D:\dev2\cm3.2\m3-libs\libm3\src\os\POSIX\FilePosix.m3(47): | Ustat.S_IFPIPE, Ustat.S_IFPORT, Ustat.S_IFSOCK =><BR>
<BR>
should check for S_IFSOCK and S_IFIFO.<BR>
<BR>all references to and definitions of S_IFPORT and S_IFPIPE should go away.<BR>
<BR>
Or did some actual systems actually define either of these?<BR>
<BR>
Most of the *.i3 files set S_IFPORT = S_IFIFO and S_IFPIPE = 0.<BR>
Many of them say that there is no S_IFPIPE in their .h file.<BR>
Irix has them reversed but the same result: S_IFPORT = 0 and S_IFPIPE = S_IFIFO.<BR>
<BR>
Any objections?<BR>
