Description
In http://www.commonwl.org/v1.0/CommandLineTool.html#CommandOutputParameter (streamable):
> An implementation may use this flag to indicate whether it is valid to stream file contents using a named pipe
It would be nice if cwltool implemented this.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Common Workflow Language CommandOutputParameter specification section linked in the issue, then locate cwltool's handling of streamable inputs and outputs. Done means valid streamable files use named pipes for both input and output paths, with coverage for the relevant execution behavior.
