# Python program to explain os.pipe() method

# importing os module
import os


# Create a pipe
r, w = os.pipe()

# The returned file descriptor r and w
# can be used for reading and
# writing respectively.

# We will create a child process
# and using these file descriptor
# the parent process will write
# some text and child process will
# read the text written by the parent process

# Create a child process
pid = os.fork()

# pid greater than 0 represents
# the parent process
if pid > 0:

	# This is the parent process
	# Closes file descriptor r
	os.close(r)

	# Write some text to file descriptor w
	print("Parent process is writing")
	text = b"Hello child process"
	os.write(w, text)
	print("Written text:", text.decode())

	# Closes file descriptor w
	os.close(w)

	print("\nChild Process is reading")
