The document outlines a C program to implement Inter-Process Communication (IPC) using pipes. It includes algorithms and code examples for both one-way and two-way communication between a parent and child process. The execution results demonstrate successful message transfer in both communication modes.

No:10 IMPLEMENT IPC USING PIPE

AIM:
To write a C Program to implement IPC using Pipe

ALGORITHM:

Step 1: Start the program


Step 2 : Create a pipe and child process.
Step 3: Parent process writes to the pipe for both one way and two way communication.
Step 4: Child process retrieves the message from the pipe and writes it to the standard output
Step 5: Stop the program

ONE WAY COMMUNICATION:


PROGRAM:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>

int main()
{
int pipefds[2];
int returnstatus;
int pid;
char writemessages[2][20]={"Hi", "Hello"};
char readmessage[20];
returnstatus = pipe(pipefds);
if (returnstatus == -1) {
printf("Unable to create pipe\n");
return 1;
}
pid = fork();

// Child process is created


if (pid == 0)

{
read(pipefds[0], readmessage, sizeof(readmessage));
printf("Child Process - Reading from pipe – Message 1 is %s\n", readmessage);
read(pipefds[0], readmessage, sizeof(readmessage));
printf("Child Process - Reading from pipe – Message 2 is %s\n", readmessage);
}
else
{
//Parent process
printf("Parent Process - Writing to pipe - Message 1 is %s\n", writemessages[0]);
write(pipefds[1], writemessages[0], sizeof(writemessages[0]));
printf("Parent Process - Writing to pipe - Message 2 is %s\n", writemessages[1]);
write(pipefds[1], writemessages[1], sizeof(writemessages[1]));
}
return 0;
}

OUTPUT:
Parent Process - Writing to pipe - Message 1 is Hi
Parent Process - Writing to pipe - Message 2 is Hello

TWO WAY COMMUNICATION:


#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>

int main() {
int pipefds1[2], pipefds2[2];
int returnstatus1, returnstatus2;
int pid;
char pipe1writemessage[20] = "Hi";
char pipe2writemessage[20] = "Hello";
char readmessage[20];

returnstatus1 = pipe(pipefds1);
if (returnstatus1 == -1)
{
printf("Unable to create pipe 1 \n");
return 1;
}

returnstatus2 = pipe(pipefds2);
if(returnstatus2 == -1)
{
printf("Unable to create pipe 2 \n");
return 1;
}
pid = fork();
if(pid != 0)
{
close(pipefds1[0]);
close(pipefds2[1]);
printf("In Parent: Writing to pipe 1 – Message is %s\n", pipe1writemessage);
write(pipefds1[1], pipe1writemessage, sizeof(pipe1writemessage));
read(pipefds2[0], readmessage, sizeof(readmessage));
printf("In Parent: Reading from pipe 2 – Message is %s\n", readmessage);
}
else
{
close(pipefds1[1]);
close(pipefds2[0]);
read(pipefds1[0], readmessage, sizeof(readmessage));
printf("In Child: Reading from pipe 1 – Message is %s\n", readmessage);
printf("In Child: Writing to pipe 2 – Message is %s\n", pipe2writemessage);
write(pipefds2[1], pipe2writemessage, sizeof(pipe2writemessage));
}
return 0;
}

OUTPUT:

In Parent: Writing to pipe 1 – Message is Hi


In Child: Reading from pipe 1 – Message is Hi
In Child: Writing to pipe 2 – Message is Hello
In Parent: Reading from pipe 2 – Message is Hello
