I/O redirection

[Gerard Denga]

Yo wiz
  How would I, in C, ensure that any input, control sequences included,
went only to the parent process. How would I ensure that a child
immediately got any input, say, thru a pipe, or signals that the parent
sent it. Tried closing filedes 0 & dup ing the out end of the pipe in
the child. Please mail &// post the bare essentials. Also, is this
group where the questions go, or just the answers?
Thanks.
Gerard
