To use Teradata Named Pipes Access Module on UNIX with named pipes:
1) Use the UNIX mknod command with the p option to create a named pipe. In the following
example, /tmp/mypipe is the name of the pipe:
/sbin/mknod /tmp/mypipe p
 
2 Program the writer process to send its output stream to the named pipe, as in the
following FastExport script example:
.EXPORT OUTFILE /tmp/mypipe;
 
3 Program the reader process to read from the named pipe as in the following FastLoad
script example:
axsmod np_axsmod.so “fallback_directory=...”;
define file= /tmp/mypipe;

4 Launch both the writer and the reader processes, as in the following example where
flod.cmds is the name of the FastLoad job script file:
fexp <fexp.cmd & fastload <flod.cmds &
In this example, UNIX connects both processes through the named pipe /tmp/mypipe.
