<h1> The s6-cleanfifodir program </h1>

<p>
s6-cleanfifodir cleans up a <a href="fifodir.html">fifodir</a>.
</p>

<h2> Interface </h2>

<pre>
     s6-cleanfifodir <em>fifodir</em>
</pre>

<p>
s6-cleanfifodir cleans up <em>fifodir</em>, that must belong to the current user.
That means it removes all stale FIFOs in <em>fifodir</em>.
</p>

<p>
 In normal use, it is not necessary to call s6-cleanfifodir. However, stale
FIFOs can be left by <a href="libs6/s6-ftrigrd.html">s6-ftrigrd</a> processes that
were violently killed, so it's good practice to regularly clean up fifodirs.
