I find the above hard to read. How about "..., if an error occurs or

It looks like pipefd[1] will be closed twice if the write() failed.
It does look strange to let the child continue to its infinite loop
after the write() failed. I assume that it is because the parent will
also be stuck and the new ctrl_handler() is expected to unblock both?
Could you please add a comment to the code to clarify this flow?
Thank you very much
