Subject: Read named pipe (fifo) problem
Date: Thu, 05 Dec 2002 14:47:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1039096037.3ceb1f80ulfl@home.se> (raw)
Hello
I want to create a connection between my DOS program
and a Linux server using fifo (named pipe). This works
fine when writing from DOS to Linux part. But when the
DOS program tries to read from the fifo it get hunged
in the read function (because no data). How can I get
the read to return with 0 return if no data present ?
Have been using Linux DOS emulator 1.0.2.1 and
FreeDOS kernel 1.1.24c (Dos program compiled with
Borland BC3.1).
Linux to linux program communication with fifo is
working fine.
best regards Ulf Larsson
