Thanks, that was a good start ^^
You wouldn't happen to know anymore though? *blush*
Especially related to Pipes
Do you want to know the principles or how to use them in your programs? For the latter I would suggest getting a book to help you. The applications are many when it comes to pipes and process forking.
I need to write a program, that begins with one process and forks to two (I understand how this works now), but I am still really confused with how you would implement a pipe to transfer messages between the two processes, mainly as I still have not figured out how a pipe works.
In specific: What is a File Descriptor? That's the main part of pipes I do not understand.
Mmm, recent posts by Schwarzhelm touched on this subject
