sync_pipe_write_errmsgs_to_parent()

void sync_pipe_write_errmsgs_to_parent ( int  pipe_fd, const char *  error_msg, const char *  secondary_error_msg  )

extern

Notify the parent that the child encountered an error.

Parameters

error_msg	The error message to be sent to the parent.
secondary_error_msg	An optional secondary error message to be sent to the parent.

sync_pipe_write_int_msg()

void sync_pipe_write_int_msg ( int  pipe_fd, char  indicator, int  num  )

extern

Writes a string message to the recipient pipe.

Write a message, with an unsigned integer body, to the recipient pipe in the standard format (1-byte message indicator, 3-byte message length (excluding length and indicator field), and the integer, as a string.

Parameters

pipe_fd	The file descriptor of the pipe.
indicator	A character indicating the type of message.
num	The unsigned integer message to be written.

sync_pipe_write_string_msg()

void sync_pipe_write_string_msg ( int  pipe_fd, char  indicator, const char *  msg  )

extern

Writes a string message to the recipient pipe.

Write a message, with a string body, to the recipient pipe in the standard format (1-byte message indicator, 3-byte message length (excluding length and indicator field), and the string. If msg is NULL, the message has only a length and indicator.

Parameters

pipe_fd	The file descriptor of the pipe.
indicator	A character indicating the type of message.
msg	The string message to be written.

sync_pipe_write_uint_msg()

void sync_pipe_write_uint_msg ( int  pipe_fd, char  indicator, unsigned int  num  )

extern

Writes a string message to the recipient pipe.

Write a message, with an unsigned integer body, to the recipient pipe in the standard format (1-byte message indicator, 3-byte message length (excluding length and indicator field), and the unsigned integer, as a string.

Parameters

pipe_fd	The file descriptor of the pipe.
