strace says "-1" in this case is ENOBUFS

The failure in my programm is that it writes binary data to a pipe with
rt_pipe_write (preserves message boundary) and normal linux process
wants to read it byte by byte with read(). Read wants to receive the
whole message, but the message is bigger than 1 byte, so it returns ENOBUFS.

The solution is to use rt_pipe_stream (don't preserves message
boundary). Do I have to use rt_pipe_alloc before? Is there a small
sample program somewhere?


Thanks,
Marco
