我必须实现一个测试程序(测验)，它除了显示问题和阅读答案外，还必须显示每过一分钟还剩多少时间。考试时间结束后，做完题目或时间用完，程序必须从头返回，在开始之前，我们输入考生姓名。此实现必须使用流程来完成。以下是我到目前为止编写的代码。问题是我不确定我是否在流程和子流程之间进行了良好的沟通，特别是因为我没有使用管道。一些意见？

最佳答案

管道本身不需要您提供常规文件，但它们可以有一个唯一的、全局可见的名称，该名称由您必须指定的(未使用的)文件名提供。文件的内容(如果有)由库处理。

有(简单的)管道用于相关进程(例如同一进程层次结构中的子进程和父进程)之间的通信，其中管道句柄可以很容易地传递给其他进程。

另一种风格称为“命名管道”，用于具有任何关系的进程，其中可以使用全局名称查找管道句柄(如我链接的问题的答案中所述)。您可以将管道想象成一个直接连接的传声管，允许两个进程使用读写功能随意聊天。在 Linux 上，管道是一个单工(一次，一个人说，另一个人听)。在这种情况下，双向异步 IO 需要两个管道 (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/53641/how-to-make-bidirectional-pipe-between-two-programs)。输入和输出的直接缓冲区是抽象的。就像网络套接字一样。

我建议在接受的答案中编译这个很好的例子来玩:https://stackoverflow.com/a/2789967/1175253
