Can anyone point me to a good book or (preferably) a URL where I
can get info/help about inter-process communications in C in a BSD
environment, fork(), pipe(), popen() etc?
What I'm trying to do (without success :-( ) is to write a program,
"foo", that starts (exec()'s?) another program, "bar" with which
it has 2-way communication.
For example, bar outputs a prompt "enter a number", foo reads the
prompt and sends bar a number, bar outputs a result which foo can
read.
Anything that gives examples of doing this would be a great help.
Thanks.
