[英]linux terminal command with a pipe in c code
I'm trying to execute the Linux command "ls -l | tail -n 2" with a simple pipe in ac code. 我正在尝试使用ac代码中的简单管道执行Linux命令“ ls -l | tail -n 2”。
I added your tips and now this works but the output isn't exactly as it should be. 我添加了您的提示,现在可以正常工作,但是输出并不完全正确。 It prints the output in a single line instead of two and waits for a user input to close. 它以单行而不是两行打印输出,并等待用户输入关闭。 here is the new code: 这是新代码:
#include "stdio.h"
#include "unistd.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "sys/wait.h"
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
void main()
{
char line[100];
pid_t pid;
int fd[2];
int status;
char* ls_arguments[] = {"ls", "-l", NULL};
char* tail_arguments[] = {"tail", "-n", "2", NULL};
pipe(fd);
pid = fork();
if(pid == 0)//ls client
{
close(1);
dup(fd[1]);
close(fd[0]);
execvp("ls", ls_arguments);
}
pid = fork();
if(pid == 0)//tail client
{
close(0);
close(fd[1]);
dup(fd[0]);
execvp("tail", tail_arguments);
}
wait(pid, 0, WNOHANG);
close(fd[0]);
close(fd[1]);
}
this should run the "ls -l" command and output to the pipe and the next "tail" client would get it as input and run the "tail -n 2" command and print out the final output but the terminal prints nothing. 这应该运行“ ls -l”命令并输出到管道,下一个“ tail”客户端将其作为输入并运行“ tail -n 2”命令并输出最终输出,但是终端什么也没打印。 Any help? 有什么帮助吗?
First of all, there is not such wait
function, here is what the man
says: 首先,没有这样的wait
功能,这是该man
说的:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
pid_t wait(int *status);
pid_t waitpid(pid_t pid, int *status, int options);
I think you meant to use waitpid
. 我认为您打算使用waitpid
。
Then, you child process doesn't finish because the pipe is still opened somewhere: in the parent. 然后,您的子进程将无法完成,因为管道仍在某个位置打开:在父级中。 Indeed you should first close the descriptors and then wait for your childs process. 确实,您应该首先关闭描述符,然后等待您的子进程。 I would write: 我会写:
close(fd[0]);
close(fd[1]);
wait(NULL); // Wait for the first child to finish
wait(NULL); // Wait fot the second one
return 0;
}
Instead of: 代替:
wait(pid, 0, WNOHANG);
close(fd[0]);
close(fd[1]);
}
