C管道-命令2错误

Question

So, I thought I was on the right track with trying to imitate the bash shell, but I'm having issues piping. I am getting an error executing the second command. I was wondering if someone could explain to me how to fix this and why it's going wrong. I'm very new to C & Linux commands so any supplemental information that could help me along the way would be also be appreciated.

Thank you so much for your time. My code is below, but there is a lot of it. My issue is occurring in the exec_pipe function. I would normally include what I have used for input and what I am getting for output, but my sample input is actually executable files my professor gave us for testing. Unfortunately, mine is not working like it does in the shell. I am just getting my error print out:

Inside Case 5
Inside Exec_Pipe
Error in Pipe EXECVP cmd2

Without having access to the input file that you're giving it, it's a little hard to say what's going on, but here are some tips for debugging it.

First, when something you don't understand is happening, it can be a good idea to strip it down to a minimal, working, self contained example that demonstrates the problem. Sometimes, just the process of cutting it down to that small example can help you to find the problem; but if not, it gives you a much smaller example to ask about.

Next, when putting in these print statements to debug what's going on, give yourself a little more context. Especially in the one that indicates an error; print out what the error is, and what the arguments were to the function that failed. Rather than just:

printf("Error in Pipe EXECVP cmd2");

You can use strerror to get a string representing the error number:

printf("Error %d in Pipe EXECVP cmd2: %s\n", errno, strerror(errno));

And you can also print out what the command and all of your arguments were:

for (char **arg = cmd2; *arg != NULL; ++arg) {
    printf("cmd2[%ld] = %s", arg - cmd2, *arg);
}

Between printing out the actual error and printing out the command name and all of the arguments, that should help you to debug the problem.

If you could add that information to your question, and maybe cut your example down to a more minimal example as well as showing a minimal example of the input that causes a problem, we could probably help out a lot more.
