无法打开FIFO

我编写这个程序来测试Ubuntu中的FIFO。主程序创建一个子进程来写东西,然后父进程读取并打印它

    pid_t pc;
    int flag,fd;
    char data[BUFFERSIZE+1];
    char* test="a test string";
    if(mkfifo(FIFO_SERVER,O_CREAT|O_EXCL)<0)    //create fifo
    {
        printf("create named pipe failed\n");
        exit(1);
    }
    printf("create named pipe sucessfully\n");
    pc=fork();  //create process
    if(pc==0)
    {
        memset(data,0,strlen(test));
        fd=open(FIFO_SERVER,O_WRONLY,0);    //open the fifo
        if(fd==-1)  //if open failed
        {
            printf("write:cann't open the named pipe\n");
            unlink(FIFO_SERVER);
            exit(1);
        }
        flag=write(fd,test,13);     //write data
        if(flag==-1)    //write failed
        {
            printf("write data error\n");
            unlink(FIFO_SERVER);
            exit(1);
        }
        printf("write data successfully\n");
        close(fd);  //clsoe fifo
        unlink(FIFO_SERVER);    //delete fifo
    }
    else
        if(pc>0)
        {
            memset(data,0,strlen(test));
            fd=open(FIFO_SERVER,O_RDONLY,0);
            if(fd==-1)
            {
                printf("read:cann't open the named pipe\n");
                unlink(FIFO_SERVER);
                exit(1);
            }
            flag=read(fd,data,13);
            if(flag==-1)
            {
                printf("read data error\n");
                unlink(FIFO_SERVER);
                exit(1);
            }
            printf("the data is%s\n",data);
            close(fd);
            unlink(FIFO_SERVER);
        }
        else
        {
            printf("create process error!\n");
            unlink(FIFO_SERVER);
            exit(1);
        }
}

然而,它每次执行时都会显示这一点,我确信这个fifo已经完成了。

write:cann't open the named pipe

3 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

mkfifo()的第二个参数应该是chmod - 类型模式(例如0777),而不是O_个标记的组合。

您的流程正在创建一个没有足够权限的管道。

答案 1 :(得分:1)

你需要使用mkfifo和S_IWUSR,S_IRUSR,S_IRGRP,S_IROTH模式参考http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604599/functions/mkfifo.html

if(mkfifo(FIFO_SERVER, S_IWUSR | S_IRUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH)<0)

答案 2 :(得分:0)

fifo已创建但未稍后打开,请检查权限。您可以在创建fifo时指定permossion。
