Remove named pipe (fifo) requirements #529

Closed bcail closed 3 years ago

bcail commented 3 years ago

Using a named pipe for the transforms might be faster. However, the named pipe requires the user knowing what command to use to create it (if the default doesn't work). The named pipe also results in the transform just hanging if there's an error, instead of returning the error right away.
