Hi, I need to detect on the producer side (writing end) of a named pipe when the consumer (reading end) has disconnect/closed. This detection needs to work "quickly" even if the producer doesn't produce anything; thus, SIGPIPE wouldn't help.
On Linux, when using unix.Select() on the fd of the producer's writing end of the named pipe, the fd becomes readable only upon the consumer disconnecting. On macos, unix.Select indicates that the writing end fd becomes readable as soon as the producer writes(!) data. But it never reports the fd becoming readable upon the consumer disconnecting. I'm opening both named pipe ends as follows (in different processes): os.OpenFile(fifoname, os.O_WRONLY, os.ModeNamedPipe) os.OpenFile(fifoname, os.O_RDONLY, os.ModeNamedPipe) - is there something to know of in Go's runtime/stdlib (and especially the poller) that might interfere with my usage of unix.Select on an ordinary *os.File? - how can I detect the consumer disconnecting on macos? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
