Program for Inter-Process Communication using pipe() function

In this lecture on Inter Process communication using pipe, you will learn how to pass messages between two processes using open.
pipe() function creates a unidirectional pipe for IPC. On success it return two file descriptors pipefd[0] and pipefd[1]. pipefd[0] is the reading end of the pipe. So, the process which will receive the data should use this file descriptor. pipefd[1] is the writing end of the pipe. So, the process that wants to send the data should use this file descriptor.
