I downloaded Plan9port today, and found thewre is no pipefile.
It's not good to me, because I need ktrans.☺
Is it difficult to implement REGEND for p9p's rfork?
Or anything other difficulties are there for pipefile.c?

I think the main difficulty with pipefile is that
there is no /dev/cons for it to sit on top of.
You can't just replace /dev/tty on Unix the way
you can replace /dev/cons. You'd have to set
up another pseudo-tty and pass parameters
through, etc. It's a much tougher job on Unix.
