You're right, I think a wait(NULL) is missing at the end of the else part. Although, since, we're writing from the child process to the parent, the program will work properly albeit with some resource leaks. I'm glad you actually noticed my mistake. Good job!
@@lxw5231 because the parent might finish before the child process, which will result in the child process becoming a zombie process, ie its data is not cleared by the time you program ends, taking up space in your system while doing nothing hence a zombie process
You are amazing and an amazing teacher, the way you explain is so clear and concise. 15 min of your videos is about a month or two of school classes. You deserve AT LEAST 150k subs
Wow, this is the most clear and concise coding lessons I have found on youtube. Perfect pace, audio and video quality is great, everything clear. Thank you so much. I was thinking of dropping my university OS course but now I think I may be able to pass with your videos.
Your videos are excellent. Really helpful to all IT students out there. Short and straight to the point. And since they explain the basics of every subject so well the rest of the studying is easily done. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for recording this video! I have an OS class at school and the professor never taught us anything about this. Then he just released a project and I was hopeless until found this video!
I haven't understood forks and pipes all semester, but these two videos that you have were very well explained! Thank you so much, I might just pass my exam lol
I've been watching your videos, like how you take the time to explain things which might not always be so obvious. You are the only one who has (good) tutorials on IPC, coulnd't find any other, thought I was lucky when I saw you made two videos on IPC but then checked your channel and saw you've not only covered looots of IPC but also have a huge library of videos on C. So surprising due to how little views/subs you have, very underrated. I must ask, I tried to setup the IDE you use, visual studio code and couldn't get it to run a program, tried looking up how to do it but couldn't find anything clear on it for ubuntu, seems rather advanced to set it up so everything works smoothly? Spent the whole day looking for a good IDE, tried Clion, which froze upon loading project and geany which was no better than texteditor imo :/
Thank you! I have a video on how to set it up on Windows, although it should be the exact same setup for Linux. You just hate to point VSCode to gcc instead of mingw. If it's still an issue, you can send me a message over on Discord and I'll send you the exact configurations I have for Linux.
Awesome videos no doubt. This playlist is the lifeline of my OS labs this semester. I have one suggestion for you; it would be better if you use an online board and some diagrams when explaining codes. Though I understood most of the explanations, I recommended this playlist to one of my friends and he didn't understand many things. not everyone has good imagination skills. Subscribed your channel. God bless you.
These vids are damn helpful for my OS practical classes.Is there a video where you show how you set up vs code and the debugger for C?I use sublime text now but without debugger.Thanks
This one: code-vault.net/course/yx1g2sh6l4:1610029046575/lesson/4wy66ezt7u:1610303902122 And the next in the playlist shows how to run in on Linux and how I actually run VSCode
Hey! I like your videos! The only thing I suppose was wrong in that one is that your doesn't close the descriptor in case of write or read error and return straight away
Awesome thanks a lot! Please need some guidance on how to get the output of printf of another program (child) then receive that in the main program (parent) but not after the child is closed or done?
Because global variables are only global to the process. Each process (child and parent process) get their own set of global variables. Modifying one global variable in one process won't change it in the other
The best book you could ever read about programming and OS is Computer Science from bottom up for Ian Wienand. Its a great book by all means. You will never regret any minutes spent reading. I wish if I found this book years ago.
Hi , Do you have to wait i the else part at the begenning of paper before reading from the pipe(fd[0]) for the child to write to fd[1] and finish its execution basically i was asking if you can a write call before anything is written to the pipe. please advices
There are a lot of reasons. Think about all the tools you're using on your computer and what happens when you do something that makes them interact. Something like, drag and dropping an image from a process to another Other reasons could be to reuse functionality. If you have a program and you want to count the number of words in some text you could reuse the program "wc" and simply put a pipe between your process and the "wc" process' stdin and stdout
Here's a video on how to send an array through pipes: code-vault.net/lesson/phac6gv4cy:1603733529763 It's very similar to how you would send a struct or object
Hello, Thanks for these usefull videos! I was wondering how you can see on VS the definitions of functions that you call, for instance pipe : "Create a one-way communication channel [...] " Thanks for the help :) best
what is the name of that extension when you hover your move over a function it shows a box of text with a little description of that function? I would like to use that as well!
@@CodeVaultThank you for your quick reply. I also have the extension but when I hover over a function it only shows the first line with the prototype but not the hole description like you. I googled all over the place but I can't find how to activate that, do you? By the way, I love your videos they have been very helpfull to me lately to learn C. Keep up the good work!
First of all thanks for the video, but I don't understand what happens when we return a number to exit a thread (ex: return 1 when an error occurs in opening the pipe). Does this number have a meaning or its printed on console window to indicate the part of the error or something like that?
No, it has no meaning. The only important thing is that it's not 0, thus considered an error by the OS. When I run it and get an error, I also will get an error code, which is the return value from the main (that 1 that you're talking about). Me, the programmer, seeing that 1, I can tell that something went wrong with opening the pipes and it's not just some random error. That's how these are used
what program do you use to run the code? we programmed c in codeblocks, but that obviously can't run these types of codes and i tried putty, but it's just problematic. also thank you so much for these videos, you're the reason i haven't failed yet in my operation system class.
Glad to be of help. There's this video and the next one in the list presenting how to use VSCode in Linux and how I am using VSCode to run the programs (it's a bit more complex): code-vault.net/course/yx1g2sh6l4:1610029046575/lesson/4wy66ezt7u:1610303902122
Super clear video! Do you have any extension for VS to show a little explanation of the functions when you have your cursor above?, when I do so it only shows me the prototype of the function
I have the C/C++ extension from Microsoft. It should work but you just have to make sure it's configured correctly (there might be some path you have to add to the headers and whatnot)
@@CodeVault can u please elaborate because installing the extension is easy but I have no idea how to configure it, as a beginner this information pop-up can help us a lot!

why you don't use wait in parent process(else part) because both process are running parallel
You're right, I think a wait(NULL) is missing at the end of the else part. Although, since, we're writing from the child process to the parent, the program will work properly albeit with some resource leaks. I'm glad you actually noticed my mistake. Good job!
I dont understand， why there is resource leak without wait(NULL)?
@@CodeVault Why doesn't parent end while we are waiting for input in child?
@@lxw5231 because the parent might finish before the child process, which will result in the child process becoming a zombie process, ie its data is not cleared by the time you program ends, taking up space in your system while doing nothing hence a zombie process
@@CodeVault I don't think wait(NULL) is needed, since read is a blocking call, the child will wait until the parent writes into the pipe.
you're a legend you should be proud
Why is channel underrated, I love how you explain just so much.. stuff that took me weeks to grasp just in one video. I wish I found you earlier
dude, all tour videos from the playlist which includes this video have helped a lot in university. thank you so much and keep it up!

There's this video on the topic: code-vault.net/lesson/43zvcsz6o1:1603732432539
@CodeVault , why cant we use a global valiable in that program declared before fork() and just store the input value in that variable?
Because global variables are only global to the process. Each process (child and parent process) get their own set of global variables. Modifying one global variable in one process won't change it in the other
