Developed by Christian Visintin
This repository is a simple C application which starts a child through fork and set the stdout and the stdin of the child to two named pipes. The program takes the user input and writes it to the child stdin, adding at the end "echo '//EOF';". Then it also waits for stdout of the child process and prints the output.
I made this project while trying to find a solution to implement that other project of mine https://github.com/ChristianVisintin/Pyc. I got stuck understanding how to make my program to read the user input and convert it to latin and to convert the shell output to cyrillic.
I just think this project may be useful to devs looking for redirections with pipes in C.
