通过管道与子进程通信

通过管道与子进程通信

最近要把mplayer改造成C/S架构的，mplayer比较复杂，为了避免修改mplayer的代码，我决定让mplayer作为Server的子进程来运行，两者之间用管道作为通信方式。通过管道与子进程通信实现很简单，但从来没有用过，还是折腾了好一会儿才搞定，这里做个笔记，供以后查阅。

parent.c

#include <unistd.h>   int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {     int parent_to_child[2] = {0};     int child_to_parent[2] = {0};       pipe(parent_to_child);     pipe(child_to_parent);       if(fork() == 0)     {         close(parent_to_child[1]);         close(child_to_parent[0]);           dup2(parent_to_child[0], STDIN_FILENO);         dup2(child_to_parent[1], STDOUT_FILENO);           execl("./child.exe", "./child.exe", NULL);     }     else     {         char message[32] = {0};         close(parent_to_child[0]);         close(child_to_parent[1]);           fprintf(stderr, "parent:%d/n", getpid());         while(1)         {             write(parent_to_child[1], "to-c", 4);             read(child_to_parent[0], message, 4);               fprintf(stderr, "pid=%d: %s/n", getpid(), message);             if(strcmp(message, "quit") == 0)             {                break;             }         }     }         return 0; }

child.c

#include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h>   int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {     int i = 0;     char message[32] = {0};       fprintf(stderr, "child:%d/n", getpid());       for(i = 0; i < 8; i++)     {         write(STDOUT_FILENO, "to-p", 4);         read(STDIN_FILENO, message, 4);         fprintf(stderr, "pid=%d: %s/n", getpid(), message);     }       write(STDOUT_FILENO, "quit", 4);       return 0; }

 

Makefile

ll:     gcc -g parent.c -o parent.exe     gcc -g child.c -o child.exe clean:     rm -f *.exe

运行测试
