Apart from that, your code is not safe. Your callback will block if exactly 1024 bytes, or an exact multiple of 1024 bytes, are in the pipe when the callback is invoked until further input is received, which is almost certainly not what you want. You should set the non-blocking flag and then read in the callback until the pipe is empty (or there is an error/EOF).
