Rohre, dup2 und exec()

Sie müssen alle Pipe-Deskriptoren sowohl im übergeordneten Prozess als auch im untergeordneten Prozess schließen (nach Duplizierung im untergeordneten Prozess). In Ihrem Code ist das Hauptproblem der wc Der Prozess wird nicht beendet, da noch Writer vorhanden sind (da der übergeordnete Prozess das Write-Ende nicht abgeschlossen hat). Unten aufgeführte Änderungen. Ich habe auch die waitpid hinzugefügt im übergeordneten Prozess auf die wc warten verarbeiten.

pid_t pid;
int fd[2];

pipe(fd);
pid = fork();

if(pid==0)
{
    dup2(fd[WRITE_END], STDOUT_FILENO);
    close(fd[READ_END]);
    close(fd[WRITE_END]);
    execlp(firstcmd, firstcmd, frsarg, (char*) NULL);
    fprintf(stderr, "Failed to execute '%s'\n", firstcmd);
    exit(1);
}
else
{ 
    pid=fork();

    if(pid==0)
    {
        dup2(fd[READ_END], STDIN_FILENO);
        close(fd[WRITE_END]);
        close(fd[READ_END]);
        execlp(scmd, scmd, secarg,(char*) NULL);
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to execute '%s'\n", scmd);
        exit(1);
    }
    else
    {
        int status;
        close(fd[READ_END]);
        close(fd[WRITE_END]);
        waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
    }
}

Hm, nah genug. Sie versäumen es, einen Dateideskriptor nach dem Fork zu schließen.
