produces data for client1, and child2 for client2. <copypasted newline>
Write a C loop that performs the above actions, making sure that at no time will the server sit and wait <copypasted newline>
for data from one child when the other child has data to pass. If either child dies, exit the loop. <copypasted newline>
You need to write only the loop transferring the data. Assume that all connections to pipes and sockets <copypasted newline>
have been established, and no more clients will try to connect to this server. <copypasted newline>
The pipes are declared in arrays p1 and p2, respectively. The sockets are s1, and s2. <copypasted newline>
You may use this function (you do not have to write it): <copypasted newline>
int transfer(int p, int s)<copypasted newline>
which gets data from pipe p and puts it into socket s, and returns the number of bytes read from the pipe. <copypasted newline>
is this correct?
