进程间通信之CreatePipe

CreatePipe function

创建匿名管道，返回读，写管道的handle。


BOOL WINAPI CreatePipe(
  _Out_     PHANDLE hReadPipe,
  _Out_     PHANDLE hWritePipe,
  _In_opt_  LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpPipeAttributes,
  _In_      DWORD nSize
);


参数：


hReadPipe [out]
返回对管道读的handle


hWritePipe [out]
返回对管道写的handle


lpPipeAttributes [in, optional]
指向SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES结构的指针。SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES决定了子进程是否可以继承管道的读写handle。
如果lpPipeAttributes是NULL，不能继承。


nSize [in]
管道的缓冲空间。只是一个建议值，系统会根据建议值计算出一个合适的值。如果nSize是0，使用缺省值。




返回值：
如果函数执行成功，返回值非0.
如果失败，返回0。可以通过GetLastError获得更多的信息。




说明：
CreatePipe创建包含适当大小缓冲空间的管道，返回通过ReadFile读， WriteFile写缓冲空间的handle.
ReadFile在如下情况返回：写操作完成，已读到请求大小的字节数，或者发生错误。
WriteFile只到写完所有的字节数才会返回。
若管道缓冲空间在写之前已经满了，那么WriteFile将一直不会返回直到ReadFile读管道后有足够的缓冲空间。
匿名管道是通过命名管道实现的。因此，你可以把匿名管道handle作为命名管道handle使用。
为了释放管道使用的资源，应用程序应该关闭那些不再使用的handles。

下面是子进程的代码。它使用继承的标准输入STDIN和输出STDOUT访问父进程创建的管道。
父进程从in.txt读数据，并把这些数据写到管道1中。子进程从管道1中通过STDIN获得数据，再通过STDOUT写到管道2中。父进程之后再从管道2中读取数据并显示。

//client.cpp

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define BUFSIZE 4096 
 
int main(void) 
{ 
   CHAR chBuf[BUFSIZE]; 
   DWORD dwRead, dwWritten; 
   HANDLE hStdin, hStdout; 
   BOOL bSuccess; 
 
   hStdout = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); 
   hStdin = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); 
   if ( 
       (hStdout == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) || 
       (hStdin == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) 
      ) 
      ExitProcess(1); 
 
   // Send something to this process's stdout using printf.
   printf("\n ** This is a message from the child process. ** \n");

   // This simple algorithm uses the existence of the pipes to control execution.
   // It relies on the pipe buffers to ensure that no data is lost.
   // Larger applications would use more advanced process control.

   for (;;) 
   { 
   // Read from standard input and stop on error or no data.
      bSuccess = ReadFile(hStdin, chBuf, BUFSIZE, &dwRead, NULL); 
      
      if (! bSuccess || dwRead == 0) 
         break; 
 
   // Write to standard output and stop on error.
      bSuccess = WriteFile(hStdout, chBuf, dwRead, &dwWritten, NULL); 
      
      if (! bSuccess) 
         break; 
   } 
   return 0;
}

具体的，不妨参考in.txt上的一幅图。

/*Creating a Child Process with Redirected Input and Output
The example in this topic demonstrates how to create a child process 
using the CreateProcess function from a console process. 
It also demonstrates a technique for using anonymous pipes to redirect 
the child process's standard input and output handles. 
Note that named pipes can also be used to redirect process I/O.
