[julia-users] Re: How does one read and write a sizeable amount of data (megabytes) from a process?

[Eric Davies]

What worked: 

function bloop(size; write_size=100000)
    data = Array{UInt8}("f" ^ size)

    println("start")
    (pout, pin, p) = readandwrite(`cat -`)
    println("read")
    read_task = @async read(pout)
    for chunk in chunks(data, write_size)
        println("write")
        write(pin, chunk)
    end
    println("close")
    close(pin)
    println("collect read data")
    output = wait(read_task)
    println("close")
    close(p)

    println()

    output
end
