    Post Program using Fork and Pipe

    Hi,

    Can anyone help me with my assignment?

    "Write a program in C which creates a child (with the use of fork) and between the child and the parent there is bidirectional communication through the use of pipes.

    The child process will read letters from the user (keyboard) and it will send them to the father.

    If the father process finds a capital letter - it will turn it to non-capital letter and if it finds a non-capital letter it will turn it to capital. After this "conversion" is done - the father will send the letters back to the child which will print the message on the screen.

    Both processes terminate on key "Q" or "q" pressed."


    Regards,
    Abin

    No. Write it yourself.

    We can help if you make an effort, but we're not a homework on demand service.
    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.

    Give it a try on your own first before asking for help.
