What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a FIFO 'f' using `mkfifo t`
2. Run `vcdiff encode -dictionary t`
3. Run `echo "source data" > t` in a different terminal
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Vcdiff should work with a FIFO dictionary, but it says "Error finding size of
dictionary file 't': Illegal seek". Apparently the dictionary file is handled
as a random access file. Xdelta3, on the other hand, allows FIFO sources.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
open-vcdiff 0.8.3, Mac OS X/Homebrew.
Please provide any additional information below.
If the dictionary file is a FIFO (or in general a non-seekable source), the
vcdiff command-line tool has the option of loading the entire dictionary file
into its memory.
