Bad: Broken pipe

gold5angel · 03-16-2004, 09:33 PM

Dear all,
I am coding a small program that list all libraries of executable files by using popen to ldd them. Then ls many times to get it properties. I used popen as well. And I pclose after using. But it sometimes is broken pipe or not show anything but press continue to quit. I coded in KDE. So there are any solutions to set skip this error, set PIPE size, or any suggestion to solve this idea.

If you get a broken pipe,
that means that one of the proceses attached the pipe
dies before the other.
So one is outputting or the other exepecting input when
the co-process dies.

you are maybe exiting a process without closing the pipe
nicely?

maybe?
