Package: mc
Version: 4.5.1-1.1
I tried to run a simple program with mc's terminal (ctrl+o from mc) and a
"normal" terminal and got different results.
Is this expected ?
When running under a normal terminal the program (pipe1) produces:
[11:59:17 sigi]$ ./pipe1
[12:02:47 sigi]$ hello world
But with mc's terminal I do not get its output:
[13:48:37 sigi]$ ./pipe1
[14:01:55 sigi]$
It is worth saying that the output is created by a child process.
The code of pipe1, which is mostly taken from a book, is:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#define MAXLINE 80
int main(void)
{
int n, fd[2];
pid_t pid;
char line[MAXLINE];
if (pipe(fd) < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "pipe error");
if ( (pid = fork()) < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "fork error");
else if (pid > 0) { /* parent */
close(fd[0]);
write(fd[1], "hello world\n", 12);
} else { /* child */
close(fd[1]);
n = read(fd[0], line, MAXLINE);
write(STDOUT_FILENO, line, n);
}
exit(0);
}
