## Named Pipe (FIFO) Support
The plugin supports `.env` files provided as UNIX named pipes (FIFOs) in addition to regular files.
This is useful when secrets managers like [1Password Environments](https://developer.1password.com/docs/environment/)
mount `.env` files as named pipes to inject secrets on-the-fly without writing them to disk.
No additional configuration is required — the plugin automatically detects and sources named pipes.
