question

what will happen if comment out line 13? why?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
    int p[2];

    pipe(p);

    write(p[1], "hello!\n", 7);
    write(p[1], "hello!\n", 7);
    close(p[1]);

    char buf[101];
    int n;
    while ((n = read(p[0], buf, 100))) {
        write(1, buf, n);
    }

    return 0;
}

output

/* comment out line 13 */
$ gcc -o wc -g wc.c 
$ ./wc 
hello!
hello!
^C  # read() wait for input, need ctrl+c to kill the process

/* has line 13, the process exit normally */
$ gcc -o wc -g wc.c 
$ ./wc 
hello!
hello!
$

read() blocks until it is impossible for new data to arrive. that's why need close p[1];

what will happen if comment out line 15? why?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
    int p[2];

    pipe(p);

    if (fork() == 0) {
        close(0);
        dup(p[0]);
        close(p[0]);
        close(p[1]);
        
        char buf[101];
        int n;
        while ((n = read(0, buf, 100))) {
            write(1, buf, n);
        }
    }
    else {
        close(p[0]);
        write(p[1], "hello!\n", 7);
        write(p[1], "hello!\n", 7);
        close(p[1]);
    }
}

result: chile process will wait for input forever. parent will exit normally.
