Hello,

So it is possible to do this in other ways but I thought it might be
interesting to allow people to define fifo or pipe as a log_desination.
This would allow a person to tail the fifo to receive the outputs of the
log as it happens but would not take up precious IO or space from the
disk. I personally have found this valuable when diagnosing immediate
unexpected problems. It would also work on Windows.

Sincerely,

JD
