ProgramTunnel
This is a tool to let different programs send text or binary data to each other using named pipes (FIFOs). This project is developed along with SMARTSLAB to let fortran program (CESM) to communicate with ocean model written in Julia.
Basic examples
The examples are contained in folder example.
A: Matlab v.s. Matlab
I. First create fifos
> cd example/matlab_matlab
> ./mkTunnels.sh
II. Screen 1 (Matlab interactive mode)
> % In folder example/matlab_matlab
> proc1
III. Screen 2 (Matlab interactive mode)
> % In folder example/matlab_matlab
> proc2
B: Fortran v.s. Matlab
I. First create fifos
> cd example/fortran_matlab
> ./mkTunnels.sh
II. Screen 1 (Bash)
> # In folder example/fortran_matlab
> gfortran proc1.f90 -o proc1.out
> ./proc1.out
III. Screen 2 (Matlab interactive mode)
> % In folder example/fortran_matlab
> proc2
