If you open a file within a particular task and pass the file pointer to another task, can the second task read from the file pointer? or is access limited to the task that opens the file?

Thanks!

tlintx,

If you create the second process using fork() it will inherit all open files. Don't know another way to do it though.

Have you asked in the C Programming forum?
