This doesn't work. The pipe can have 1025 bytes free space, so you'll write 1024 bytes first fine, and next iteration there'll be one byte free space and you'll block. If you need to avoid blocking you must use O_NONBLOCK on the fd. Don't try to guess how much you can write, just write until you get EAGAIN.
