Hi!!
I have this situation where i have created a named pipe and i want the
read operation to be NoBlocking..while i open the write end in blocking
mode..

For now things dont seem to work.. I just want to verify whether the
scenario above is possible in uninx?

i m using FC 6 ANSI c ..gcc 4.1.1

any ideas?

regards

Definitely.

What does "things dont seem to work" mean?
