Hey guys, i am implementing my own shell. I want to involve piping. i searched here and i got a code. But it is not working.Can any one help me? this is my code
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>

{

pid = fork();
//char path[81];
//getcwd(path,81);
//strcat(path,"/");
//strcat(path,cmd[0]);
if(pid < 0)
{
cout << "Fork Failed" << endl;
exit(-1);
}
else if( pid == 0 )
{
execvp( cmd[0] , cmd );
}
else
{
wait(NULL);
}
}

}
I know it is not well coded. But try to help me :(
