read and write messages using pipe code example
Example 1: how to read write in pipe
#include<unistd.h>
ssize_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count)
ssize_t write(int fd, void *buf, size_t count)
Example 2: how to read write in pipe
#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>
int main() {
int pipefds[2];
int returnstatus;
char writemessages[2][20]={"Hi", "Hello"};
char readmessage[20];
returnstatus = pipe(pipefds);
if (returnstatus == -1) {
printf("Unable to create pipe\n");
return 1;
}
printf("Writing to pipe - Message 1 is %s\n", writemessages[0]);
write(pipefds[1], writemessages[0], sizeof(writemessages[0]));
read(pipefds[0], readmessage, sizeof(readmessage));
printf("Reading from pipe – Message 1 is %s\n", readmessage);
printf("Writing to pipe - Message 2 is %s\n", writemessages[0]);
write(pipefds[1], writemessages[1], sizeof(writemessages[0]));
read(pipefds[0], readmessage, sizeof(readmessage));
printf("Reading from pipe – Message 2 is %s\n", readmessage);
return 0;
}
