- I have a process running under unix which is written in C (a.out). I want
- to start another process which is also written in C (b.out). How do I
- send information (character strings) from b.out to a.out?
-
- I presume I can write the information from b.out to a file and have a.out
- read it back in through an interrupt. Is there anyway I can do this
- without using file io (say, with popen?)
-
- thanks for any help in advance
