#include "light.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("Hello world\n");
write(STDOUT_FILENO, "Ciao\n", 5);
if (fork() == -1)
errExit("fork");
/* Both child and parent continue execution here */
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
When we run this program with standard output directed to the terminal, we see the expected result:
$ ./fork_stdio_buf
Hello world
Ciao
However, when we redirect standard output to a file, we see the following:
$ ./fork_stdio_buf > a
$ cat a
Ciao
Hello world
Hello world
Why?
recall that the stdio buffers are maintained in a process's user-space memory.
Therefore, these buffers are duplicated in the child by fork(). When standard out-put is
directed to a terminal, it is line-buffered by default, with the result that the newline-terminated
string written by printf() appears immediately. However, when standard output is directed to a
file, it is block-buffer
fork与exit、_exit的配合使用

当标准输出重定向到文件时,由于stdio缓冲区的复制,使用fork()创建子进程可能导致输出重复。通过fflush()清空缓冲区、使用_setvbuf()禁用缓冲或子进程调用_exit()避免此问题。exit()会触发stdio缓冲区的刷新,而_exit()则不会。write()的输出不会重复,因为它直接写入内核缓冲区。
