Pipes and fifos cannot overflow.
...
With one process reading from a pipe and another writing to a pipe, they will take turns running.
In fact, this sort of mechanism works very well when having to export Oracle data when the data exceeds 2 GB and the Oracle exp utility doesn't support large filesystems.
I would like to know if the following can be done.
route output from an sql select directly to a pipe and compress it at the same time.

I am pretty new to UNIX. My client has a requirement where in a directory we have some files with somewhat similar name
like test_XX.txt, test_XY.txt, test_XZ.txt, test_ZZ.txt, test_ZY.txt, test_ZX.txt, test_YY.txt......Out of these files
few files have 0 bytes. Is there a way where we can go... (7 Replies)

Hi All,
I'm creating a program which reads millions of bytes from the PIPE and do some processing. As the data is more, the idea is to read the pipe parallely.

frexpl
frexp(3M) Mathematical Library Functions frexp(3M)NAME
frexp, frexpf, frexpl - extract mantissa and exponent from a floating-point number
SYNOPSIS
c99 [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>
double frexp(double num, int *exp);
float frexpf(float num, int *exp);
long double frexpl(long double num, int *exp);
DESCRIPTION
These functions break a floating-point number into a normalized fraction and an integral power of 2. They store the integer exponent in the
int object pointed to by exp.
RETURN VALUES
For finite arguments, these functions return the value x, such that x is a double with magnitude in the interval [1/2, 1) or 0, and num
equals x times 2 raised to the power *exp.
If num is NaN, NaN is returned and the value of *exp is unspecified.
If num is +- 0, +- 0 is returned and the value of *exp is 0.
If num is +-Inf, num is returned and the value of *exp is unspecified.
