I have 2 programs. One writes data to fifo & other reads from it & processes the data.
There are cases when Writing program keeps populating fifo and the data sent to fifo can exceed 4088 bytes. And the reader program still has not read from fifo. In this case the fifo gets manipulated. The data that is sent after 4088 bytes gets lost.
I want to avoid this by increasing Fifo limit.
Any other ways instead of using ulimit -p command?
thanks,
Sandeep

From the bash(1) man page for ulimit:-p The pipe size in 512-byte blocks (this may not be set)I guess you can't set it. What is the end thing you are trying to do?Ben Yau
