thanks alot, I can't try your solution cuz im stuck with the dup2 error. Its weird cuz it was working when i didnt check the return value
Replace fileno(stdout) with STDOUT_FILENO and it should work. If not, print the value it actually DOES return. I think it's succeeding and your error checking code is wrong. Have you copied it literally?
thanks alot corona i change the fileno(stdout) to STD_FILENO and its working however i dont know how you manage to get tr to work i did the following change:
Code:

This is really interesting however it print everything uppercase at the end, I want to do something interactive where the user type and the system print back uppercase
Im gonna study this code because theres alot of verification. If you check the man for poll pollhup on the event bitmask is ignored (only use for the revents).
Also I dont get why poll for p[1]. Excellent job tough im impress
After a lot of hair pull and experimentation on a real OSX machine I've discovered an insurmountable roadblock to doing this with poll() in OSX. From man poll:
Code:

BUGS
The poll() system call currently does not support devices.
Devices includes terminals, real and virtual.
select() might still support them. You can see code here on how to use select(). linux code, but should be applicable to OSX.

Well, that's how pipes work. They buffer until they're full. To use them in a nonblocking manner you'll need to set them nonblocking, I think:
...though this behavior may vary from system to system.
Using a seperate process and a pipe to convert lowercase to uppercase is overkill, but I bet you know that and this is just an example...

To make sure write(p[1].fd, data, size) doesn't block. Imagine that the child and the parent are writing at the same time, waiting for each other. They'll both wait forever. Instead, we write only when the pipe can hold it.
Hi!
I'm having problems with pipes... I need comunnications with childs processes and parents, but only one child can comunnicate with parent (first child), others childs can't.

I have encountered a strange problem dealing with pipes
