Method pipe
pipe(int[])
Creates a unidirectional data channel for inter-process communication.
public static extern int pipe(int[] fds)Parameters
fdsint[]An array of two integers where the file descriptors for the read and write ends of the pipe will be stored. The first element represents the read end, and the second element represents the write end.
Returns
- int
Returns 0 on success. On failure, returns -1 and sets the global errNo variable to indicate the error.
Remarks
The pipe is a unidirectional communication channel, meaning data written to
the write end can be read from the read end. The caller is responsible for
ensuring that the fds array has exactly two elements.
