linux 管道write,关于 linux 管道中 read 和 write的返回值问题

一直不了解  在pipe中   read()和write()的返回值

然后 在 终端  用man 查找  可以 知道

@ubuntu:~/linux_c$ man read

SYNOPSIS

#include

ssize_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count);

DESCRIPTION

read() attempts to read up to count bytes from file descriptor fd into the buffer starting at buf.

If count is zero, read() returns zero and has no other results. If count is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is unspecified.

RETURN VALUE

On success, the number of bytes read is returned (zero indicates end of file), and the file position is advanced by this number. It

is not an error if this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested; this may happen for example because fewer bytes are

actually available right now (maybe because we were close to end-of-file, or because we are reading from a pipe, or from a terminal),

or because read() was interrupted by a signal. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. In this case it is left

unspecified whether the file position (if any) changes.
