Named Pipes on Linux don't use FIFO named pipes, rather they use Unix-domain-sockets #36710
Description
It should be mentioned that on Linux not FIFO named pipes (mkfifo) is used, rather Unix-domain-sockets in order to provide functionality that is on par with the Windows-implemenation.
It may be confusing if one wants to write a IPC solution on Linux with C and C# / .NET playing together, as the C-part has to use UDS.
