In Linux, FIFO stands for “First In, First Out,” and it is a special file type used for interprocess communication. FIFOs are sometimes also referred to as named pipes. Unlike regular files, FIFOs do not store data on disk; instead, they act as a conduit for data to flow from one process to another.

Once a FIFO is created, it can be used to send data between processes. One process writes data into the FIFO, and another process reads from it. The data is read in the order it was written, following the FIFO principle (First In, First Out).
