need help - C program on redirection

45 New Member
Hello All,

In whotofile.c, we can see that we are redirecting the output of who to a file.


In pipe.c, we see that we are redirecting the o/p of first command as the input to the next command.

I want to write a program without using dup or dup2 to redirect the output of who as the input of sort.

Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

I am answering for below part
I want to write a program without using dup or dup2 to redirect the output of who as the input of sort.

Logic for this is
1)First open a file using open system call
2)As it is opened successfully what you do is dup the file descriptor
3)Then use dup2 to swap the file descriptor to the stdout's descriptor
4)Now whatever you write to stdout will be part of the file
5)As you are done again call dup2 to swap the descriptors properly
6)close the file descriptor

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
