鉴于此代码:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define BUF_SIZE 256

    // remark : working under the assumption that the messages are of equal length

    const char* messageOne = "Hello world , I'm child number 1\n";
    const char* messageTwo = "Hello world , I'm child number 2\n";

    const unsigned int commLen = strlen(messageOne) + 1;

    char buf[BUF_SIZE];

    if (pipe(fd1) == -1)

            }

            /* read from the first pipe */
            if (read(fd1[0], buf, commLen) == -1)
            {
                printf("Error reading from pipe 1.\n");

            }

            /* write to the second pipe */

            {

                _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
            }

            if (close(fd2[1]) == -1)
            {
                printf("Error closing writing end of pipe 2.");
                _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
            }

            printf("Message received child TWO: %s", buf);
            printf("Exiting child 2...\n");
            _exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
            break;

        default:
            break;
    }

    printf("Parent closing pipes.\n");

    if (close(fd1[0]) == -1)
    {
        printf("Error closing reading end of the pipe.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    if (close(fd2[1]) == -1)
    {
        printf("Error closing writing end of the pipe.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    if (close(fd2[0]) == -1)
    {
        printf("Error closing reading end of the pipe.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    if (close(fd1[1]) == -1)
    {
        printf("Error closing writing end of the pipe.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    printf("Parent waiting for children completion...\n");
    if (wait(NULL) == -1)
    {
        printf("Error waiting.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    if (wait(NULL) == -1)
    {
        printf("Error waiting.\n");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    printf("Parent finishing.\n");
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}

这是使用pipe()的两个进程之间的简单对话。

输出结果为:

Piped opened with success. Forking ...
Parent closing pipes.
Parent waiting for children completion...

Child 2 executing...

Child 1 executing...
Message received child TWO: Hello world , I'm child number 1
Exiting child 2...
Message received child ONE: Hello world , I'm child number 2
Exiting child 1...
Parent finishing.

从上面可以看出,这两个孩子使用forkpipe与另一个孩子说话。但我想这样做而不管它们,是否可能?如果是这样,请解释如何,我不想使用pipe(),我想要模拟 pipe()

虽然你想要这样做的原因超出了我的范围,但还有其他一些IPC机制(更复杂,更容易出错):

  • 命名管道(FIFO)
  • 共享内存
  • 映射的共享内存
  • UNIX-domain Sockets
  • 互联网域套接字

有关这些内容的精彩教程,请参阅“进程间通信”一章中的这本电子书:Advanced Linux Programming

答案 1 :(得分:3)

您可以使用共享内存或Unix套接字。如果管道足够的话,不知道你为什么要这么做。 shmem和socket都是低级别的。

答案 2 :(得分:3)

我修改了你的程序,以显示System V共享内存的一个例子。为了避免种族 条件信号量(POSIX命名为信号量)也被使用。我也写了一些评论。 PL。看看这个例子是否有帮助。 可以参考各个功能的手册页以了解有关功能的更多信息。编译标志应为-lpthread。要生成密钥(以引用唯一的共享内存段),现有文件(我将其命名为“anyfile”)应该在当前目录中可用,因为我使用了ftok函数。 PL。通过检查添加适当的错误处理 函数的返回值。

  1. Unix套接字
  2. 共享内存
  3. CORBA
  4. IPC消息传递(参见http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/node25.html
  5. TCP / IP甚至UDP
  6. 甚至可以写入文件并使用信号量标记它以供其他进程读取。
  7. 就在我头顶
