最近干活的时候又被Linux管道和消息队列搞的一脸懵逼。当初自己走马观花似的学习以为内容很简单，结果留下了大坑，借来Unix网络编程来补补，重新审视这两个部分，并且引以为戒！！！
首先看管道
#include<unistd.h>
int pipe(int fd[2]);灵魂作图
单进程管道
刚fork后
父进程关闭管道读出端，子进程关闭管道写入端，在父子进程间提供一个单向数据流
管道只能用于父子进程或者兄弟进程间通信，也就是说管道只能用于具有亲缘关系的进程间通信
管道的缓冲区大小是受限制的。管道所传输的是无格式的字节流。这就需要管道输入方和输出方事先约定好数据格式
有名管道可用于没有亲缘关系的进程间通信（name pipe或者叫FIFO）
#include<sys/types.h>
#include<sys/stat.h>
int mkinfo(const char *pathname, mode_t mode);//<span style="font-family: 宋体, Arial; line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-size:12px;">pathname为创建有名管道的全路径名，mode为创建有名管道的模式</span></span>实现分析
//管道缓冲区个数
#define PIPE_BUFFERS (16)
//管道缓存区对象结构
struct pipe_buffer {
struct page *page; //管道缓冲区页框的描述符地址
unsigned int offset, len; //页框内有效数据的当前位置，和有效数据的长度
struct pipe_buf_operations *ops; //管道缓存区方法表的地址
};//管道信息结构
struct pipe_inode_info {
wait_queue_head_t wait; //管道等待队列
unsigned int nrbufs, curbuf; //包含待读数据的缓冲区数和包含待读数据的第一个缓冲区的索引

}PS：管道是作为一组VFS对象来实现的，因此没有对应的磁盘映像。所以管道的安装和实现都是VFS类似，此处不进行探讨
