進程間通信（IPC）:管道（Pipe）

管道：一個進程連接數據流到另一個程序

pipe函數的原型：

#include <unistd.h>

int pipe(int file_descriptor[2]);

該閃身在數組中填上兩個新的文件描述符後返回0，如果失敗則返回-1。寫到file_descriptor[1]的所有數據都可以從file_descriptor[0]讀回來。這裏使用的是文件描述符而不是文件流，所以我們必須用底層的read和write調用來訪問數據，而不是用文件流庫函數fread和fwrite

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
    int data_processed;
    int file_pipes[2];
    const char some_data[] = "123";
    char buffer[BUFSIZ + 1];

    memset(buffer, '\0', sizeof(buffer));

    if (pipe(file_pipes) == 0) {
        data_processed = write(file_pipes[1], some_data, strlen(some_data));
        printf("Wrote %d bytes\n", data_processed);
        data_processed = read(file_pipes[0], buffer, BUFSIZ);
        printf("Read %d bytes: %s\n", data_processed, buffer);
        exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
    }
    exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
~     

輸出：

Wrote 3 bytes
Read 3 bytes: 123

可以通過管道在兩個進程之間傳遞數據

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
    int data_processed;
    int file_pipes[2];
    const char some_data[] = "123";
    char buffer[BUFSIZ + 1];
    pid_t fork_result;

    memset(buffer, '\0', sizeof(buffer));

    if (pipe(file_pipes) == 0) {
        fork_result = fork();
        if (fork_result == -1) {
            fprintf(stderr, "Fork failure");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }

// We've made sure the fork worked, so if fork_result equals zero, we're in the child process.

        if (fork_result == 0) {
            data_processed = read(file_pipes[0], buffer, BUFSIZ);
            printf("Read %d bytes: %s\n", data_processed, buffer);
            exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
        }

// Otherwise, we must be the parent process.

        else {
            data_processed = write(file_pipes[1], some_data,
                                   strlen(some_data));
            printf("Wrote %d bytes\n", data_processed);
        }
    }
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

輸出：

Wrote 3 bytes
jessica@ubuntu:~$ Read 3 bytes: 123

這個程序實現了再不同的進程之間進行讀寫操作。但僅僅是運行一個相同的程序。

接下來的程序中子進程中運行一個與其父進程完全不同的另外一個程序。

下面是pipe3.c

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
    int data_processed;
    int file_pipes[2];
    const char some_data[] = "123";
    char buffer[BUFSIZ + 1];
    pid_t fork_result;

    memset(buffer, '\0', sizeof(buffer));

    if (pipe(file_pipes) == 0) {
        fork_result = fork();
        if (fork_result == (pid_t)-1) {
            fprintf(stderr, "Fork failure");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }

        if (fork_result == 0) {
            sprintf(buffer, "%d", file_pipes[0]);
            (void)execl("pipe4", "pipe4", buffer, (char *)0);
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }

      else {
            data_processed = write(file_pipes[1], some_data,
                                   strlen(some_data));
            printf("%d - wrote %d bytes\n", getpid(), data_processed);
        }
    }
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

下面試pipe4.c

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int data_processed;
    char buffer[BUFSIZ + 1];
    int file_descriptor;

    memset(buffer, '\0', sizeof(buffer));
    sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &file_descriptor);
    data_processed = read(file_descriptor, buffer, BUFSIZ);

    printf("%d - read %d bytes: %s\n", getpid(), data_processed, buffer);
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

pipe3在程序中調用pipe4，pipe4程序從參數字符串中提取出文件描述符數字，然後讀取該文件描述符來獲取數據。
