I know how to read and write if i have a forked process with only one child. However what is involved with reading and writing with many forked processes. Say one parent that forks 5 children, and needs to communicate with all 5 in half duplex.
int temp, counter=0;
do{
pipe(temp);

Hello, I'm trying to implement a version of a bucketSort (kinda) server/client, but I'm having a VERY hard time on making the server behave correctly, when talking to the children, after it forks.
The server is kinda big (300+ lines), so I won't post it here, but here's what I'm doing.

Hi, as I understand fork(), it makes a copy of the parent which becomes a child. But is there anyway to make three children for that one parent. So in other words, if I look up the getppid() of the children, I want them to have the same value??
Thanks in advance to any help! (1 Reply)
Hi everyone , after a pipe() system call i've forked and entred into the child process to execve a shell script .the problem here is that when the execve sys call fail , i want to send the error code (eg errno) to the parent process using the pipe writer side p , there is nothing received in the...

Hello,
I am trying to create a pipe that will direct stdout to in side of the pipe, and stdin to the out side of the pipe - I created two child processes to handle this. However, my pipe doesn't seem to be working correctly. Did I use execv() correctly? Command1 and command2 represent the two... (3 Replies)

Assume you have such a piece of (more or less pseudo-)code:
if(fork() == 0) {// childprocess
chmod(someProgram, 00777);
exec(someProgram);
} else { // assume it never fails and this is the parent
chmod(someProgram, 00000); // should be executed as soon as possible after the... (5 Replies)
Greetings everyone, I need a bit of help in solving the following problem:
I'm given an array of numbers and I have to compute the sum of the array elements using n processes, and the inter process communication has to be done with pipes(one pipe, to be exact).

xquerytree
XQueryTree(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XQueryTree(3)NAME
XQueryTree - query window tree information
SYNTAX
Status XQueryTree(Display *display, Window w, Window *root_return, Window *parent_return, Window **children_return, unsigned int *nchil-
dren_return);
ARGUMENTS
children_return
Returns the list of children.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
nchildren_return
Returns the number of children.
parent_return
Returns the parent window.
root_return
Returns the root window.
w Specifies the window whose list of children, root, parent, and number of children you want to obtain.
DESCRIPTION
The XQueryTree function returns the root ID, the parent window ID, a pointer to the list of children windows (NULL when there are no chil-
dren), and the number of children in the list for the specified window. The children are listed in current stacking order, from bottom-
most (first) to top-most (last). XQueryTree returns zero if it fails and nonzero if it succeeds. To free a non-NULL children list when it
is no longer needed, use XFree.
BUGS
This really should return a screen *, not a root window ID.
