Title pretty much covers it.
I have a program with a variable number of childś writing to the same pipe, from witch the father reads.
Is this dangerous? can data be corrupted if execution jumps to another child, in the middle of the write, or is the write done in one cycle?
Thank You

A single write() up to PIPE_MAX is atomic.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
thank you
