/fifo  enable|disable|toggle

 enable: enable FIFO pipe
disable: disable FIFO pipe
 toggle: toggle FIFO pipe

FIFO pipe is used as remote control of WeeChat: you can send commands or text to the FIFO pipe from your shell.
By default the FIFO pipe is in ~/.weechat/weechat_fifo

The expected format is one of:
  plugin.buffer *text or command here
  *text or command here

For example to change your freenode nick:
  echo 'irc.server.freenode */nick newnick' >~/.weechat/weechat_fifo

Please read the user's guide for more info and examples.

Examples:
  /fifo toggle
