why you don't use wait in parent process(else part) because both process are running parallel
@CodeVault

You're right, I think a wait(NULL) is missing at the end of the else part. Although, since, we're writing from the child process to the parent, the program will work properly albeit with some resource leaks. I'm glad you actually noticed my mistake. Good job!

I've been watching your videos, like how you take the time to explain things which might not always be so obvious. You are the only one who has (good) tutorials on IPC, coulnd't find any other, thought I was lucky when I saw you made two videos on IPC but then checked your channel and saw you've not only covered looots of IPC but also have a huge library of videos on C. So surprising due to how little views/subs you have, very underrated. I must ask, I tried to setup the IDE you use, visual studio code and couldn't get it to run a program, tried looking up how to do it but couldn't find anything clear on it for ubuntu, seems rather advanced to set it up so everything works smoothly? Spent the whole day looking for a good IDE, tried Clion, which froze upon loading project and geany which was no better than texteditor imo :/

fds are duplicated after you call fork(). So, if you open a pipe() and then fork() you have 4 fds in total. Since from one process we only read and from another we only write we don't need half of them

I have multiple question. Why u dont wait at the end of the parent? Since u dont wait, why did the child process always run before the parent? For exemple why u didnt get an error telling u that value y isnt initialised cause we learned that u never know which process execute first if u dont wait. Second, how did u open the fd? Dont u need to use open() after using a pipe? Cause pipe juste gives u fd, but they dont actually open them right? + dont u need to give them the permission to either read or write in them? And last question, since u use a protection for ur fork, ur write and ur read, why didnt u close the fd before returning each error value? Cause what i see here is that if u fail to write, then u return 2 if i remember correctly, and only fd[0] is closed, while fd[1] remains open no? Except from these questions, i find ur videos really helpful thanks 🙏 , cause i noticed that since the beginning i only ask questions without thanking u lol 😂, sry about that.
@CodeVault

1) read() always waits for there to be something written to the pipe 2) pipe() already opens the fds so no open() call is needed 3) You're correct. The better solution would be to close the fds before returning. But, since we are returning, the OS will automatically close the fds for us. It's just good practice to close them but not required. It's also a good idea to close them once you don't need them anymore if it's a long-running process

pipe() created a pair of file descriptors (basically IDs). If you first fork() and then pipe() you will be left with two different pipes (since pipe() would be called on both processes) and, since the file descriptors would be different you wouldn't be able to communicate between them

There are a lot of reasons. Think about all the tools you're using on your computer and what happens when you do something that makes them interact. Something like, drag and dropping an image from a process to another Other reasons could be to reuse functionality. If you have a program and you want to count the number of words in some text you could reuse the program "wc" and simply put a pipe between your process and the "wc" process' stdin and stdout

@CodeVault
2 жыл бұрын
It's simple. What you return inside main gets passed to the operating system. If it's 0, it's considered a "success", if it's anything else, it's considered an error. So, if I return, let's say, 3 in the main function, I will get in the terminal something like: "Program terminated with exit code 3" And then I could look at my code and find where that 3 is and figure out what happened
