Hello...
I've studied FIFO in recent days...
and tried to write some code (Linux C) for practice...
but there are some bugs in my code...
I don't know how to solve it...
here is my code...
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
int main(){
char path[200]="./fifo.tmp";
char str[200];
int i, op;
int myFifo;
scanf("%d", &op);
if(op %2 ==0){
if(mkfifo(path, S_IRWXU | S_IRWXO | S_IRWXG)==-1)
{
fprintf(stderr, "fail fifo\n"); fflush(stderr);
}
myFifo = open(path, O_RDWR);
close(1);
dup(myFifo);
printf("yoyoyo");fflush(stdout);
scanf("%d", &i);
} else {
myFifo = open(path, O_RDWR);
//version 1
read(myFifo, str, 6);
//version 2 (with dup fifo to stdin)
close(0);
dup(myFifo);
scanf("%s", str);
fprintf(stderr, "---%s\n",str); fflush(stderr);
}
}
after I build my program...
first, I run my program and type "0" to create a FIFO
and write some characters to FIFO
my program will stopped at scanf("%d", &i);
at this time, I run the same program, but type "1" to try to read the content of FIFO
If I use the code of version 1
the can be read by read(myFifo, str, 6);
but if I use the code of version 2
it can't be read by scanf("%s", str);
althought the FIFO has been dup to stdin
did I have some misconception about mkfifo() function ?
and how to fix my code ?
thanks.
