在我的程序中,我将子进程的输出重定向到管道,并在父进程中获得此结果并执行某些操作(这并不重要)。但是,当我使用tail -f test.txt命令时,我的程序无法运行,并且在tail运行时不接收任何数据,并且仅在tail完成(或终止)后才获取此数据。

起初我以为问题是tail -f不会刷新,这就是为什么我无法接收任何数据的原因,但是当我尝试将tail -f的输出重定向到某个文件时,即使拖尾未完成,数据仍在该文件中。

//the code of creating child and redirecting data (important part)
//only core is here so please don't tell me that maybe pipe() or fork() is failed

pid_t pid;
int outpipe[2]; //pipe for reading from stdout
int errpipe[2]; //pipe for reading from stderr

// Createing pipes for childs stdout and stderr streams
pipe(outpipe);
pipe(errpipe);
pid = fork();
if(pid == 0)
{
    // This is the child process. Closing read end of pipes and duplicating stdout and stderr streams
    close(outpipe[0]);
    dup2(outpipe[1], STDOUT_FILENO);
    close(errpipe[0]);
    dup2(errpipe[1], STDERR_FILENO);

    if(execvp(argv[0], (char * const *)argv) == -1)
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "Failed to execute command %s: %s", argv[0], strerror(errno));
        _exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    _exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
else if (pid != -1)
{
    // This is the parent process, Closing write end of pipes and opening fds as FILE
    close(outpipe[1]);
    *child_stdout_stream=fdopen(outpipe[0], "rt");
    close(errpipe[1]);
    *child_stderr_stream=fdopen(errpipe[0], "rt");
    *child_pid=pid;
}

然后,我从child_stderr_streamchild_stdout_stream中读取这些参数,这些参数作为参数传递给上面的部分,是从何而来的。
为了读取,我使用select()直到从其中一个流中读取数据之前才阻止程序。

添加部分选择和读取
int select_and_read(FILE **files, bool *is_eof, char *chars, int *mask, int nfiles, int timeout, pid_t child_pid)
{
    int max_fd_plus_1 = 0;
    fd_set rfds;
    struct timeval tv;

    FD_ZERO(&rfds);

    for(int i = 0; i < nfiles; ++i)
    {
        if(is_eof[i]==false)
        {
            FD_SET(fileno(files[i]), &rfds);
            max_fd_plus_1 = (max_fd_plus_1 > fileno(files[i])) ? max_fd_plus_1 : fileno(files[i]);
        }
    }
    ++max_fd_plus_1;

    tv.tv_sec = timeout / 1000;
    tv.tv_usec = (timeout % 1000) * 1000;

    int retval = select(max_fd_plus_1, &rfds, NULL, NULL, &tv);
    if(retval > 0)
    {
        *mask = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < nfiles; ++i)
        {
            if(is_eof[i]==false)
            {
                if(FD_ISSET(fileno(files[i]), &rfds))
                {
                    *mask |= 1 << i;
                    chars[i] = fgetc(files[i]);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        kill(child_pid, SIGKILL);
    }
    return retval;
}

最佳答案

这个奇怪的问题已经很奇怪地解决了。我以这种方式将文件缓冲区设置为0:

else if (pid != -1)
{
    // This is the parent process, Closing write end of pipes and opening fds as FILE
    close(outpipe[1]);
    *child_stdout_stream=fdopen(outpipe[0], "rt");
setbuf(*child_stdout_stream, NULL);
    close(errpipe[1]);
    *child_stderr_stream=fdopen(errpipe[0], "rt");
setbuf(*child_stderr_stream, NULL);
    *child_pid=pid;
}

这很奇怪,这很有帮助,但是无论如何我的程序现在运行良好。
