Parent process won't continue execution

[mr_m4x]

Hello,

I'm developing a concurrent client that has to send requests to n-servers. I'm using processes, forking the parent process and using pipes so the child processes can communicate with the parent.

My current problem is that the parent won't continue creating the new children unless the last one that was spawned writes back on the pipe. Is there a way to avoid that? To make the parent continue it's execution and spawning new processes until some of them start writing back on the pipe?

Thanks!

use non-blocking I/O for the parent process

Great, I managed to solve my previous question.

Now I have another doubt, how can I write a struct to a pipe? Let's say this for example:

typedef struct{
	int one;
	int two;
	int three;
}foo;

Any ideas?

Thanks!

fprintf(f, "%d %d %d", foo.one,foo.two,foo.three);
