fifo

Dear friends
i'm want to implement a program which one file is split into fragments by the server (by some random size) and sent to some processes, so these processes get randomly the fragments of the original file from the server, then the downloader randomly connects to some of these processes and gets the fragments.
I want to know what technique to use, should i use message quees or i can simply use fifo and get the fragments using simple byte streams, what do u suggest?

GFS_PIO_SET_VIEW_INDEX(3)												 GFS_PIO_SET_VIEW_INDEX(3)

NAME
gfs_pio_set_view_index - change file view to an individual fragment SYNOPSIS
#include <gfarm/gfarm.h> char *gfs_pio_set_view_index (GFS_File gf, int fragment_number, int fragment_index, char *host, int flags); DESCRIPTION
gfs_pio_set_view_index() changes the process's view of the data in the file specified by gf to a file fragment with the index frag- ment_index. When creating a new file, it is necessary to specify the total number of file fragments fragment_number. Every parallel process should specify the same fragment_number for the corresponding file. When the file exists, GFARM_FILE_DONTCARE can be specified. If fragment_num- ber is different from the total fragment number of the existent file, it is erroneous. host is used for explicitly specifying a filesystem node. If host is NULL, appropriate filesystem node is chosen. Values of flag are constructed by a bitwise-inclusive-OR of the following list. GFARM_FILE_SEQUENTIAL File will be accessed sequentially. GFARM_FILE_REPLICATE File may be replicated to a local filesystem when accessing remotely. This flag cannot be specified with GFARM_FILE_NOT_REPLICATE. GFARM_FILE_NOT_REPLICATE File may not be replicated to a local filesystem when accessing remotely. This flag cannot be specified with GFARM_FILE_REPLICATE. By default, Gfarm files are accessed as a whole file in global file view where each fragment can be seamlessly accessed. RETURN VALUES
NULL The function terminated successfully. GFARM_ERR_NO_MEMORY Insufficient memory was available. GFARM_ERR_OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED The file is not a regular fragmented file. GFARM_ERR_FRAGMENT_NUMBER_DOES_NOT_MATCH The total number of file fragments is different from the existence one. GFARM_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT Invalid arguments are specified, for instance, GFARM_FILE_DONTCARE is specified as the total number of fragments of a newly created file. Others An error except the above occurred. The reason is shown by its pointed strings. SEE ALSO
