Want to redirect stdin to file in execve(). So the program should be executed like this, I mean this is how I execute it in shell and it works:
/opt/prog < in.txt
Below is the code I wrote, but it doesn't seem to work. in.txt is binary file, I want to redirect it to stdin in executed program.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd[2];
pid_t pid;
FILE *f = fopen("in.txt", "rb");
if (pipe(fd) < 0)
return EXIT_FAILURE;
if ((pid = fork()) < 0)
return EXIT_FAILURE;
else if (pid != 0) { /* father */
close(fd[1]);
dup2(fd[0], STDIN_FILENO);
execlp("/opt/prog", "prog", (char *)0);
printf("done\n");
} else { /* son */
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_END);
long fsize = ftell(f);
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_SET);
char *string = malloc(fsize + 1);
fread(string, fsize, 1, f);
fclose(f);
close(fd[0]);
write(fd[1], string, 11);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Update 1:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
int fd[2];
pid_t pid;
FILE *f = fopen("in.txt", "rb");
if (pipe(fd) < 0)
return EXIT_FAILURE;
if ((pid = fork()) < 0)
return EXIT_FAILURE;
else if (pid != 0) { /* father */
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_END);
long fsize = ftell(f);
fseek(f, 0, SEEK_SET);
char *string = malloc(fsize + 1);
fread(string, fsize, 1, f);
fclose(f);
close(fd[0]);
write(fd[1], string, 11);
} else { /* son */
close(fd[1]);
dup2(fd[0], STDIN_FILENO);
execlp("/opt/prog", "prog", (char *)0);
printf("done\n");
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
