“Can you provide a C program to demonstrate the use of fork() and pipe()?”

To demonstrate the use of fork() and pipe() in C, the program typically follows these steps:

Create a Pipe: A pipe is a unidirectional communication channel used for inter-process communication (IPC). It has two ends:

A write end for sending data.

A read end for receiving data.

Fork a Child Process: The fork() function is used to create a child process. After the fork:

The parent process and child process run concurrently.

Both processes share access to the pipe.

Close Unused Ends: Each process closes the end of the pipe it doesn’t need:

The parent process closes the read end.

The child process closes the write end.
