How to remove all FIFO files with a shell command I can't find a shell command to remove all the FIFO files inside a directory. In fact, for the removal of directories, the `rm` command offers the options `-d, --dir`, but for FIFOs it offers no option. For now, the only workaround found is to call the FIFO like `foo.fifo` so that it is easy to remove them with `rm *.fifo`.

To delete all FIFOs in the current directory and all sub-folders use


find . -type p -delete


To delete FIFOs only in the current directory use


find . -maxdepth 1 -type p -delete
