Non-blocking reads of a fifo (named pipe)?

I have a fifo that I want to read lines from, but everything is
blocking.
execute([ "mkfifo", filename ]);
File fifo = File(filename, "r"); // blocks already
immutable input = fifo.readln(); // blocks
foreach (line; fifo.byLineCopy) { /* blocks */ }
How can I go about doing this to get non-blocking reads? Or
perhaps a way to test whether there is text waiting in the fifo?
File.eof is not it.
if (fifo.hasData)
{
immutable stuff = fifo.readln();
// ...
}
