But A only unlinks the FIFO after having opened it. If (that was my 
question) it's guarateed that that open will block until B has also 
opened it, that would work, no?

The quoted "immediately" would mean that that will only happen after 
B hast opened the FIFO because A's open would block until that.

Yes, that's what I intend.
