有名管道

建立了管道，两个进程就可以把它当作普通文件一样进行读写操作。

write.c

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <limits.h>
 
#define MYFIFO   "/tmp/myfifo"    /* 有名管道文件名*/
#define MAX_BUFFER_SIZE   PIPE_BUF   
/*常量PIPE_BUF 定义在于limits.h中*/
 
int main(int argc, char * argv[]) /*参数为即将写入的字符串*/
{
	    int fd;
	    char buff[MAX_BUFFER_SIZE];
	    int nwrite;
	    
	    if(argc <= 1)
	    {
		printf("Usage: ./fifo_write  string\n");
		exit(1);
	    }
	    sscanf(argv[1], "%s", buff);
		/* 以只写阻塞方式打开FIFO管道 */
	    fd = open(MYFIFO, O_WRONLY);
	    if (fd == -1)
	    {
		printf("Open fifo file error\n");
		exit(1);
	    }    
	    /*向管道中写入字符串*/
	    if ((nwrite = write(fd, buff, MAX_BUFFER_SIZE)) > 0)
	    {
		printf("Write '%s' to FIFO\n", buff);
	    }
	    close(fd);
	    exit(0);
}

read.c

int main()
{
	 char buff[MAX_BUFFER_SIZE];
	 int  fd;
	 int  nread;
	 /* 判断有名管道是否已存在，若尚未创建，则以相应的权限创建*/
	 if (access(MYFIFO, F_OK) == -1) 
	 {      
		if ((mkfifo(MYFIFO, 0666) < 0) && (errno != EEXIST))
		{   
			 printf("Cannot create fifo file\n");
		         exit(1);
		}
	  }
	/* 以只读阻塞方式打开有名管道 */
	 fd = open(MYFIFO, O_RDONLY);
	 if (fd == -1)
	 {        
		printf("Open fifo file error\n");
		exit(1);    
	 }
	 while (1)
	 {
		memset(buff, 0, sizeof(buff));
		if ((nread = read(fd, buff, MAX_BUFFER_SIZE)) > 0)
		{
			printf("Read '%s' from FIFO\n", buff);
		}		       
		 
	 }    
	 close(fd);    
	 exit(0);
}
