Program: example_fork_exec_pipe.c
CS-160: Software Engineering
Instructor: Rob Bruce
Fall 2016
This program demonstrates the equivalent of a popen() command. The parent process creates a named pipe. The parent process then forks a child process. The child process executes ffprobe then sends the output from ffprobe to the parent process through the named pipe.
The full source code for example_fork_exec_pipe.c is available at http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/~bruce/programs/fall_2016_cs_160/example_fork_exec_pipe/example_fork_exec_pipe.c (right mouse click then select "Save link as" to download).
A test video used by above program is available at http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/~bruce/programs/fall_2016_cs_160/example_fork_exec_pipe/video.avi (right mouse click then select "Save link as" to download).
