Title
Body
I have a C++ multithreaded application which uses posix pipes in order to perform inter thread communications efficiently (so I don't have to get crazy with deadlocks). I've set the write operation non-blocking, so the writer will get an error if there is not enough space in the buffer to write. if((pipe(pipe_des)) == -1) throw PipeException(); int flags = fcntl(pipe_des[1], F_GETFL, 0); // set write operation non-blocking assert(flags != -1); fcntl(pipe_des[1], F_SETFL, flags | O_NONBLOCK); Now I'd wish to set the pipe buffer size to a custom value (one word in the specific case). I've googled for it but I was not able to find anything useful. Is there a way (possibly posix compliant) to do it? Thanks Lorenzo PS: I'm under linux (if it may be useful)
