I'm trying to correct the code. i have this now:
Code:
//multiply a[2][3] * b[3][4] = c[2][4]
//with fork
//each child completes one c[2][4]'s row

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<unistd.h>

main()
{
  int a[2][3]={1,2,3, 
	       4,5,6};
  int b[3][4]={1,2,3,4,
	       5,6,7,8,
	       9,10,11,12};
  int c[2][4];
  int i,j;
  int m[4];	//for the calculation
  int n;	//common 3
  int pid;	//fork
  int pipefd[2];
  int w,r;
  char buff[100];
  char str[100+1]={'\0'};
  int data_len;
  int temp;
   
  for(i=0;i<2;i++)
  {
    pipe(pipefd);
      if(pipefd<0)
	printf("Pipe error\n");
    pid=fork();
    if(pid==-1)
    {
      printf("Can't fork\n");
    }
    if(pid==0)//child
    {
      for(j=0;j<4;j++)
      {
	for(n=0;n<3;n++){m[n]=0;}	//initialize m[4]
	for(n=0;n<3;n++)
	{
	  m[j]=m[j]+a[i][n]*b[n][j];
	}
      }
      for(j=0;j<4;j++)
      {
	sprintf(str,"%d",m[j]);
	w=write(pipefd[1],str,data_len);
      }
      exit(0);
    }
    if(pid>0)//parent
    {
      wait(0);
      for(i=0;i<4;i++)
      {
	m[i]=read(pipefd[0], buff, sizeof(buff));
      }
    }
    
  }
  printf("C:\n");
  for(i=0;i<2;i++)
  {
    for(j=0;j<4;j++)
    {
      printf("%d\t",c[i][j]);
    }
    printf("\n");
  }	       
}

PTHREAD_ATFORK(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					 PTHREAD_ATFORK(3)

NAME
pthread_atfork -- register handlers to be called before and after fork() SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h> int pthread_atfork(void (*prepare)(void), void (*parent)(void), void (*child)(void)); DESCRIPTION
The pthread_atfork() function is used to register functions to be called before and after fork(). The prepare handler is called before fork(), while the parent and child handlers are called after fork() in the parent and child process respectively. The prepare handlers are called in reverse order of their registration, while parent and child handlers are called in the order in which they were registered. Any of the handlers may be NULL. Important: only async-signal-safe functions are allowed on the child side of fork(). See sigaction(2) for details. RETURN VALUES
If successful, the pthread_atfork() function will return zero; otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error. ERRORS
pthread_atfork() will fail if: [ENOMEM] The system lacked the necessary resources to add another handler to the list. SEE ALSO
fork(2) STANDARDS
pthread_atfork() conforms to ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996 (``POSIX.1''). BSD
